(KSL News) A Utah couple will spend several years in prison for tax evasion.

Steven and Diane Christensen were each sentenced to three years in prison.

Prosecutors say they diverted as much as $7.5 million in tax deposits. They spent the money on luxury items such as vehicles, a home, stocks and jewelry.

The Christensens ran various employee leasing and payroll businesses.
