CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) The Internal Revenue Service has filed notices of a federal tax lien against West Virginia Sen. Jim Justice, the latest in a series of financial issues involving the former governor, his family, and their network of businesses, according to POLITICO.
One IRS document obtained by POLITICO lists Justice and his wife, Cathy, as having a total balance of more than $8 million in unpaid assessments. The filings mark the first instance of the IRS taking action against Justice personally, according to a public Greenbrier County database that goes back decades.
It remains unclear why the IRS moved forward with the lien at this time. POLITICO reports that the agency filed two documents, both prepared and signed Sept. 30, and stamped Oct. 2 by a clerk for Greenbrier County.
According to the IRS website, generally the IRS can pursue collection of a tax liability up to 10 years from the date it was assessed. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien may be filed any time within that 10-year period.

for the Justice family. He caused a lot of small business people to have to sale out to him because he ran up large debts with them. He put the squeeze on them with the debt because they couldn't pay their bills. The ones that could survive him were victims of taking a lot less than owed to survive. The same game Trump played with his contractors . Every payday he gets from being senator should go to pay his debt in full .

I filed late for Income taxes due to my husband's death. Nothing amiss took place and got money back from BOTH Federal and State in a timely manner.
