Does Anyone at MSNBC Pay Their Taxes?
This morning, FTVLive told you how MSNBC host Al Sharpton continues to thumb his nose at Uncle Sam when it comes to paying his taxes.
But, he's not the only MSNBC staffer to owe the IRS.
The Winston-Salem Journal reports that MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry and her husband James Perry owe the Internal Revenue Service$70,000 in delinquent taxes.
A notice filed this month in the Forsyth County Hall of Justice indicates the IRS has placed a lien on the Perrys.
The paper writes that in an email Wednesday, Harris-Perry said she was unaware of the tax lien but knew about the debt. She said she and her husband paid $21,721 of the debt when they filed their taxes Wednesday. The remaining debt, $48,581, covers a tax period ending Dec. 31, 2013, according to the notice.
Harris-Perry said she and her husband had been working to pay off the debt but had to deal with a series of personal crises that caused the couple to pay off the debt a lot slower than expected.
“We were aware that we would continue to need to work to pay off the 2013 debt,” she said in the email.
MSNBC appears to have no problem with their talent being deadbeats.
Lean Forward.
