Jongyean Lee, a Madison woman who co-owns several downtown Madison businesses, was sentenced to a year in federal prison Tuesday for providing the Internal Revenue Service with a false document.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb also fined Lee $30,000, due immediately.
The sentencing is the maximum Jongyean Lee could have received for the misdemeanor after pleading guilty Aug. 21.
Jongyean Lee, along with her husband Hyungirl Lee, owns the Church Key Bar and Grill, Riley's Wines of the World, Badger Liquor and Vineyard Liquor in addition to other businesses.
Hyungirl Lee will be sentenced Oct. 30 after pleading guilty to filing a false 2005 federal tax return.
The prosecution resulted from an IRS audit of the Lees' 2003-2005 tax returns.
The Lees could not be reached for comment.
