Kudos to Jonathan Carlson of WNCN for his story about the $1 billion or so in back taxes owed to the state. Notice the last sentence of the portion excerpted below.
The Department of Revenue says Joseph Frederick Denson Jr., of Durham, owes the most money, owing North Carolina more than $591,000 in back taxes. The IRS says he owes more than $6 million to the federal government, according to federal tax lien records provided to WNCN by the Durham County Courthouse.
At Denson’s home, WNCN encountered a man who said he was a tax preparer. The man rents space at Denson’s home to conduct business. So while Denson owes millions to the federal government, he has a tax preparer working out of his home.
Unbelievable.
