The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has filed two liens on claims of unpaid taxes by Senator Jim Justice and his wife Cathy, adding up to more than $8 million.
The filings were first reported by Politico’s Ry Rivard.
MetroNews reached out to Justice through his Senate office and through the communications team at The Greenbrier Resort, owned by the Justice family, but received no response.
The full amount claimed by the IRS across two filings is $8,053,554.37, and the sums go back years.
$3,060,855.27 is listed for the tax year 2009.
$4,957,763.72 for 2017.
$24,044.80 for tax year 2017.
And $10,890.58 for 2022.
The liens were filed by the IRS Oct. 2 with the Greenbrier County Clerk.
“We have made a demand for payment of the liability, but it remains unpaid,” the IRS wrote. “Therefore, there is a lien in favor of the United States on all property and rights belonging to this taxpayer for the amount of these taxes, and additional penalties, interest and costs that may accrue.”

Ouch! That’s a lotta money.
Insane.
Hmmm..Hmm... No party ID.
A Republican tax evader. Who knew?
R.
Pay your bills clown. Otherwise, GTFO of the senate.
Sort of ... he aligns with whichever party is convenient. At the moment, that's "R". When he first ran for Governor, he was a "D". As a matter of political philosophy, he's a huge improvement over Joe Manchin, but that doesn't mean he's not a jerk.
Well, scuse me... he’s an R. Book m.
Isn’t that the resort of LAST RESORT for federal employees in case of nuclear war?
Then he’s a dumb R.
Surely, he could pay the backtaxes easily, with a little blackjack. Being a ‘Rat, he’d have similar luck to Gov Pritzker.

Justice is a Republican.
Do your research before popping off.
Sure. But think about the income Justice made to generate those tax bills.
Why didn’t Justice pay taxes?
A former Dim who switched to Republican a few years ago.
Why did it take so long to file IRS liens? Stupid question, I know!
Justice is a relatively new Senator, West Virginia. Not surprisely as a target for an IRS “persecution by the Deep State” he is a repubbie.
He switched from Dim to Republican while WV governor in August 2017. Perhaps with Trump in the WH, Jim might have thought it'd help him evade prosecution for the $8 million in back taxes (most of which occurred before he switched to Rep).
With friends like this, who needs enemies?
Rotten conman. Off with his head!
