A Gloucester County man admitted to skirting $3.4 million in taxes over a seven-year period by cashing checks at a check cashing location rather than depositing the money he collected for his business into bank accounts, officials with the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.

Jose Camilo Perez Jr., 54, of Sewell, pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion in Camden Federal Court and is scheduled to be sentenced on May 20.

From 2016 to 2023, Perez collected over $8 million from clients that included hospitals and other healthcare entities to digitize medical records, authorities said.

Instead of depositing the checks made out to the business into a business account or his personal account, he cashed the checks at a check-cashing business in Philadelphia and used the money for personal use and to cover payroll, officials said.

For the seven years between 2016 and 2023, Perez did not report any of the income he received from the business to the Internal Revenue Services, according to authorities.

As a result, Perez avoided paying taxes on over $3.4 million of income, officials said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

He paid no taxes on $8 million he got from hospitals for digitizing medical records. Instead of depositing the checks, he went to Philadelphia and cashed the checks at check cashing places. Enough to attract the attention of the feds.
