Diana Miller-Lloyd, also known as Diana Rabin and Diana Lloyd, was sentenced on April 15 to 18 months in prison and one year of supervised release for preparing false tax returns, according to David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut.
Miller-Lloyd operated a tax preparation business in Connecticut under various names from at least 2017 until her recent conviction. The case highlights the risks posed by fraudulent tax preparers and the government’s efforts to prosecute financial crimes that impact both taxpayers and public funds.
Court documents show that Miller-Lloyd established Lloyd Forenzique & Accounting Services Corporation in Windsor in 2017 before moving it to Branford and later Guilford. She previously operated under Lloyd Forensic & Accounting Services. Authorities said she routinely ignored client information and fabricated deductions such as charitable contributions and business expenses—including advertising, repairs, travel, meals, utilities, insurance, and legal services—to secure large federal refunds for clients with incomes over $500,000.
The Internal Revenue Service determined that from 2016 through 2021 Miller-Lloyd attempted to obtain at least $1 million in fraudulent refunds or reductions for her clients. The IRS detected some of these activities before payments were made but reported an actual loss of nearly $473,000. Judge Sarala V. Nagala ordered Miller-Lloyd to pay $467,717 in restitution to the IRS. At times during audits by the IRS, Miller-Lloyd used another person’s certified public accountant credentials without authorization.
Miller-Lloyd pleaded guilty on October 1, 2025 to two counts related to aiding the preparation of false income tax returns. She had a prior conviction from New York in 2010 for grand larceny tied to similar offenses involving false tax returns.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut is responsible for prosecuting federal crimes across the state and managing civil cases on behalf of the government according to its official website. The office operates out of New Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport with about 68 assistant attorneys and has served since its establishment in 1789 according to its official website. It advances justice initiatives aimed at improving life quality throughout Connecticut according to its official website.
Miller-Lloyd remains free on a $25,000 bond but must report to prison on July 13.
