Place for Tax Woes: 9 MSNBC Personalities Had Tax Liens Filed Against Them

MSNBC’s hosts have a tax problem.

A Heat Street review of public records show that a total of six current, prominent MSNBC pundits have recently settled federal or state tax liens, while one still has tax problems. Moreover, at least two other hosts who recently left the network have also had massive tax liens filed against them.

MSNBC declined to comment, and none of the current or former tax debtors responded to requests for interviews sent through an MSNBC spokesperson.

The Rev. Al Sharpton — MSNBC’s Sunday morning host — easily comes in first place when it comes to “issues” with the taxman. He and his various entities—including several dissolved by New York for failure to pay taxes—currently owe about $1.5 million in state and federal taxes, interest and penalties, according to public records.

Several other prominent MSNBC talking heads have settled their tax debt only after liens were filed.

Taxes are for little people.

They just weren’t as big as they thought.

They must have used the same TurboTax edition that Tim Geitner used.

Hilary probably promised them a ‘free pass’ from her i.r.s. once she got elected.
