Kityo owned and ran a home healthcare company called Every Step Home Care Inc. In 2016 and 2017, Kityo did not report all of Every Step's gross receipts, which led his tax preparer to underreport his gross receipts by almost $2 million and allowed Kityo to avoid paying over $300,000 in personal income taxes.
In August 2023, Kityo pleaded guilty to helping prepare a false tax return.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James R. Drabick of the Securities, Financial & Cyber Fraud Unit prosecuted the case.
