$548K Tax Lien Filed Against ACORN
Tax problems continue to build for the New Orleans-based national activist group ACORN, with the IRS filing a $548,000 lien this month for two years worth of unpaid payroll taxes, according to records in the Orleans Parish Clerk of Court's office.
Whoops! How does the underside of the bus look, ACORN?
The latest federal tax filing lists seven different payments that were missed for unemployment taxes from July 2007 through March of this year. That adds to an existing IRS bill of more than $1 million, which The Pelican Institute detailed in an August report.
It's hard to get people to donate for overdue taxes -- IRS inspectors don't have sad puppy eyes like homeless children.
The latest federal filing, recorded Sept. 3, comes as Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell investigates delinquent state payroll taxes from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and its myriad related groups. Caldwell is also investigating other allegations against the group...

In the Louisiana tax case, court records show the state Department of Revenue filed two liens in January. The first, for $306,702, was against Citizens Consulting Inc., the bookkeeping arm of ACORN. It describes delinquent employee withholding taxes from late 2002 through mid 2008. The second lien was against ACORN itself for $26,026, again for unpaid withholding taxes. Both state liens appear to be cancelled, according to a citation in the Clerk of Court's computer.

State revenue officials will not discuss individual taxpayer cases, so they could not confirm that the issue is clear. A spokeswoman for Caldwell said investigators are still awaiting information from subpoenas and couldn't yet address the status of the liens.

#2 They weren't employees, they were "volunteers", therefore ACORN shouldn't have to pay unemployment taxes. Besides, they are Democrats, who are exempt from taxes (just ask Geithner).
