Criminal Tax Practitioner’s Update: Sentencing Guidelines Updated to Account for Inflation

On April 30, 2015, the United States Sentencing Commission issued Amendments to the Sentencing Guidelines.  Of significance to criminal tax attorneys like myself, the amounts on the tax tables at 2T4.1 was among the many updates made to account for inflation (though the amounts are then rounded).  The amendments can be found here and are as follows:
