Haha Palin and taxes..hehe

 Advertisements [?]

Gov. Sarah Palin must pay income taxes on thousands of dollars in expense money she received while living at her Wasilla home, under a new determination by state officials.

The governor's office wouldn't say this week how much she owes in back taxes for meal money, or whether she intends to continue to receive the per diem allowance. As of December, she was still charging the state for meals and incidentals.

"The amount of taxes owed is a private matter," Sharon Leighow, Palin's spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. "If the governor collects future per diem, those documents would be a matter of public record."

The revelation about Palin comes as U.S. senators, including Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, are under scrutiny over back taxes. A survey by the political newspaper and Web site Politico (www.politico.com ) found that Begich was one of seven senators who acknowledged owing back taxes.

Some other state employees also owe back income taxes for travel payments and will be getting revised tax forms, Annette Kreitzer, state administration commissioner, said in an e-mail.

She wouldn't say which, or how many, employees will be receiving the notifications

1. Palin has jumped the shark.
 She did it some time ago. I'd like to see a poll here on when exactly she jumped the shark. Was it the Couric interview? Charley? The turkey incident? I wouldn't know because as far as I was concerned, she jumped the shark from day one

From the article greenbriar evidently didn't bother to read...
Quote
"At the Governor's request, we reviewed the situation to determine whether we were in full compliance with the pertinent Internal Revenue Service regulations," Kreitzer wrote. "As a result of this review, we determined that per diem needs to be treated as income, requiring a revision of W-2 forms for any affected employees."

 :tongue:

At the Govenor's request....

She asked to have this review to make sure she was in complaince with the applicable laws.

Most folks would consider this to be a sign of character and integrity.

Things that your average DUer not only lack, but can't even comprehend.

It would seem that the state had done their W-2s the same way for years...and Palin has now fixed that problem in addition to the other work she's done, even though it will cause her taxes to go up.  Exactly comparable to a Dim who failed to pay taxes that he knew he owed...   ::)   :lmao:

Come on now, she is just bucking for a cabinet position in obama's ring of thieves.

BTW one more reason why we call them DUmmys.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Here, use this headline:

"Govenor's Office Investigates Palin for Tax Evasion!"
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."
