The IRS entered a federal tax lien on Jan. 29, 2018, for an unpaid balance of $75,328.80 for taxable year 2014, according to court records in Montgomery County, Md., where Moore has a home.Moore, a conservative tax policy specialist who worked on Trump's tax plan during the 2016 presidential campaign, disputed the IRS claim.
“The IRS owes us money; we don’t owe them money -- we had a $50,000 overpayment on our taxes,” he said, adding, “this has been like the audit from hell, we can’t get them to close this.” The dispute, he said, stems from an alimony and child support payment he made to his ex-wife. Alimony is tax deductible for divorces finalized before 2019. In deducting his alimony payments, Moore said, he erroneously claimed a deduction for child support payments, which are not deductible.Sign Up

In response, according to Moore, the IRS struck out his full alimony deduction and added the figure to his tax burden, instead of just striking the child support deduction.“We’ve been in a dispute with the IRS now for years,” Moore added.
Huelfox2 I don't know anybody in this country who doesn't owed unpaid taxes at the end of the year really so this is a issue
Vejcar I thought I couldn't be more stunned..this is just madness!
Stephen Moore is just a Trump kind of guy. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm sure it will disappear like Kavanaugh's debt problem.
How do small time tax owers get audited but people owing thousands upon thousands, can just not pay...lock him up
Who cares as long as he shuts down the Federal Reseve! Stop paying them the debt we don’t owe!
All Trump's picks have tax problems!!! And no one cares!
My father and brother are CPAs. I have an MBA. No tax policy expert is going to make a mistake in adding child support payments for a deduction. Moore is full of s__t. He thought he would get away with it.
'Only the little people pay taxes' You would think he would get this taken care of in advance. StephenMoore irs taxes WallStreet Trump CNBC
shrug, good for him.
Did you forget about Obama’s Turbo Tax pick
You know who else had a cash problem? BRETT KAVANAUGH.
Takes a tax cheat to pick a tax cheat!!
Shld'nt b a problem? Obama's best buddy Al Sharpton was afforded time 2 pay IRS his millions$ in bck taxes. If he ever really did?
Shut down tbe damn borders .
WHY DO THEY KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH SH-T
Maybe the person who paid off Kavanaugh’s debt will come through here.
“I pick the best people!” 🤔
Yet another “best of the best....”
Great, another one of Trumps best people. Does he know anyone who isn’t a crook?
Now are these 'future tax problems' on income yet to be earned or is this a problem with his current 'tax situation' & taxes owed on real income or profits earned? Apologies to theonion but these guys are stealing your material right & left & trying to pass it off as their own.
But ...if he's on the fed board he could just lower rates increasing inflation and boom problem solved
martin_kj Wow, are there any conservatives who stay married? Lol 🙄
Now that might be a problem.
And clearly absolutely no idea what Fed Resetve does
What? Usually an anonymous person takes care of that when Trump nominates them...
And he's also COMPLETELY UNQUALIFIED!
Is that seriously the best the liberal media can do?
Once again, Trump always picks the 'best people.'
