SANDPOINT — A Sandpoint couple has been ordered to file their delinquent tax returns after neglecting to file for 2021 and 2022.  

Robert and Angelina Henry were ordered March 13 to file returns for 2021 and 2022 by District Court Judge Susie Jensen. The pair has until May 5 to file and show the reason for their delay. According to court documents, the Henrys had a documented income of $982,000 over the two years. 

After further review by an Idaho State Tax Commission auditor, it was determined that the couple had received a gross income of $316,661 for 2021 and $665,470 for 2022. An affidavit further suggests that the couple neglected to file Idaho income tax returns between the years 2014 and 2020 as well, causing two additional administrative actions. There were no available records to indicate how much the couple made during those years.  

According to court documents, the duo owned and operated two Idaho businesses — Uptown Bagel Company LLC and Rob Henry Custom Homes LLC — where they withheld zero dollars in taxes between 2021 and 2022.  

In an ISTC news release, commission officials acknowledged the crime and ensured that actions would be taken.  

“The vast majority of our taxpayers comply with the law without prompting, but there are a few who choose to ignore the requirements,” said Tax Commission Chairman Jeff McCray. “In fairness to the majority of taxpayers who file their taxes voluntarily, it’s our job to follow up with those who don’t file.” 

A motion hearing put forth by ISTC is set for May 19, where the defendants will be expected to show cause for neglecting to file.
