The federal tax agency placed a lien on a property belonging to Giuliani in Palm Beach, Florida, public records show.

Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani owes more than half a million dollars in federal taxes and faces a lien on a property he owns in Florida, according to a recent court filing.

The unpaid balance of $549,435.26 in federal taxes for 2021 was revealed in an August notice that said the IRS was placing a lien on Giuliani’s property in Palm Beach, Florida.

The Daily Mail first reported Giuliani’s tax debt, which comes as he faces mounting legal woes, and fees.

Last month, Giuliani’s former lawyers sued him over allegations that he had not paid legal fees that they said amounted to $1.36 million. Giuliani responded to the lawsuit by saying the dollar amount being sought was excessive.

    Nothing.

    To owe 500,000 in taxes probably means you have enough money that the IRS wouldn’t go after you.

    Now if you owe them $50? Straight to jail you disgusting poor.

        More complex, yes, but not in the way you seem to think. The IRS is chronically underfunded and going after the rich is much more expensive since they have more complicated finances and a lot of expensive lawyers to fight it, so they usually aren’t audited.

        Also, the entire “justice” system is made by the rich and powerful to benefit themselves over everyone else.
