NY Times Report: Al Sharpton Owes More than $4 Million in Taxes

Category: Al Sharpton

Al Sharpton owes millions in state and federal liens, according to a New York Times report out today about the activist and MSNBC hosts finances.

Sharpton owes more than $4.5 million and has regularly sidestepped his financial obligations, the report finds. His advocacy group National Action Network has not paid federal payroll taxes for years, and has repeatedly failed to pay money owed for travel and living arrangements.

The report tracks not just Sharptons financial history, but its relationship to Sharptons rise from outsider activist to influential insider. And it also notes that the revenue from Sharptons group has spiked in recent years, coming in from plenty of corporate sponsors.

The Times report even goes so far as to note that what Sharpton did is characterized by the Treasury inspector general as abusive, or potentially criminal if the failure to turn over or collect taxes is willful.
