Senator Justice Settles $5M Tax Debt, Faces More Financial Woes

Senator Jim Justice, a Republican from West Virginia, has agreed to pay over five million dollars in overdue taxes, following a lawsuit by the US tax authorities. The settlement comes after the IRS accused Justice and his wife of not fully paying taxes from 2009. The couple will repay the full amount, plus additional interest, with no specified timeline. Justice, a former coal business owner, has faced financial difficulties, including liens over unpaid sales taxes at his historic resort, The Greenbrier, and additional liens for unpaid personal taxes. Despite his estimated net worth of $1.9 billion in 2021, Forbes now estimates it to be less than zero. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
