Joplin/Carthage businesswoman sentenced to 14 months for failure to pay company taxes


During a hearing this morning in U. S. District Court in Springfield, a Joplin businesswoman was sentenced to 14 months in prison for failing to pay taxes for her company.

Under the terms of her sentence, Karen Lauridsen, 60, will be on supervised probation for three years once she completes her sentence and will pay $242,251 in restitution. Seven similar counts against Lauridsen were dismissed.








According to the indictment, Lauridsen stopped paying federal payroll taxes for her company in 2011.

The company was not named in the indictment, which noted that the company was located in Carthage between 2003 and 2016 and then moved to Joplin.
