From about October of 2013 to September of 2016, in the Northern District of Ohio and elsewhere, Nader allegedly attempted to evade paying income tax that was due by preparing and submitting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) four false and fraudulent United States Individual Income Tax Returns for the calendar years 2012 through 2015.
