2. "Mother! PLEASE!..."

[CreekDog]

3. well she is being punished and will have to finish paying

or they will collect by taking her house.

perhaps you'd like to punish her further than that?

[Depaysement]

7. Article does not explain how it happened.

Maybe the husband is self employed?

[SoCalDem]

10. I think he works for a non profit

that said, SHE probably makes plenty, and they should have just set up a payment plan with the IRS.. They could have "let it ride" for long enough for a lien to be placed and liens are in the public record..

They spent a LOT to get their recent baby..Surrogacy is not cheap, so they DO (did) have some money..

I remember that their New Orleans house they were restoring was a complete loss, so that may have started their financial troubles.,,

They will work it our, but it's embarrassing to them, I am sure

11. oh the shame.............

12. I honestly don't understand why people can't pay their damn taxes in an orderly manner

How the hell do you end up $70K behind in taxes. Most people don't make $70K in a year.

It's ridiculous. Get a fucking accountant and stop fucking around.
