From 2003 through 2010, Kern filed false corporate returns for Kern Chiropractic that did not include as gross receipts cash and check payments that Kern diverted from the business for his own personal use. During the same years, Kern failed to file individual tax returns, despite earning more $1.2 million in gross income during that time period filed court documents and court proceedings further established that Kern has not filed an individual federal income tax return since 2002 and told IRS – Criminal Investigation special agents he believed signing and filing a completed individual federal tax return was a violation of his constitutional rights.
