A former partner at an international law firm pled guilty on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court to four counts of tax fraud.

Theodore Freedman, 65, was formerly a senior partner at an international law firm, which was not named in the US Attorney’s statement. He pled guilty to under-reporting his partnership income by around $2 million in total, from 2012 to 2004.

At the law firm, Freedman worked in the New York office as part of the restructuring group. In this position his income was a share of the firm’s partnership income for a given year.

The law firm gave Freedman the IRS form that reports an individual partner’s income or loss from the partnership. He reported his aggregated income from 2001 through 2004 as $5,388,699, understating it by around $2,097,211, according to the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

He faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison on each of the tax fraud counts. As part of his plea agreement he will pay over $671,000 in restitution to the IRS and more than $169,000 in restitution to New York State.

Sentencing is set for September 17, 2013.
