Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani owes more than half a million dollars in federal taxes and faces a lien on a property he owns in Florida, according to a recent court filing.
The unpaid balance of $549,435.26 in federal taxes for 2021 was revealed in an August notice that said the IRS was placing a lien on Giuliani’s property in Palm Beach, Florida.
The Daily Mail first reported Giuliani’s tax debt, which comes as he faces mounting legal woes, and fees.
Last month, Giuliani’s former lawyers sued him over allegations that he had not paid legal fees that they said amounted to $1.36 million. Giuliani responded to the lawsuit by saying the dollar amount being sought was excessive.
The difficulty is not intentional. It is knee jerk reactions that were poorly implemented from years and years of built up changes to how money is made (or hidden). Compounded on more and more with law over law. Just Don’t attribute malice to that which can be considered incompetence.
As for being wrong, that was too harsh. I don’t think the irs ignores the rich per se, but it’s just really difficult to quickly understand if they are following the rules. The time investment is very high and they don’t have dedicated people. It isn’t intentional though so your fix is either fund with a rule the funding only goes to six figure tax bill collection or fix the laws to make the information objective only and non complex while controlling loopholes .
