Kerry says $819,848 tax lien is clerical error (as in, "I don't pay them")
Kerry Spokeswoman: Internal Revenue Service must have lost payroll forms
The IRS says it notified John Kerry's presidential campaign in January 2008 that it had failed to file certain payroll tax forms for the 2004 tax year.
WASHINGTON - The Internal Revenue Service has filed a $819,848 tax lien against Sen. John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign, but Kerry on Wednesday blamed IRS clerical error for the claim and said his campaign owes no tax penalties.
The Massachusetts Democrat said the IRS mishandled payroll tax forms that he said were correctly filed by his campaign in 2005.
"This is a clerical matter, nothing more, nothing less," said Kerry spokeswoman Whitney Smith.
