Franken: 'Accountant Made A Mistake' On Back Taxes
Reporting
Pat Kessler ST. PAUL (WCCO) ― A Minnesota candidate for U.S. Senate said he plans to pay thousands of dollars in back taxes owed in other states.

Democratic candidate Al Franken said his accountant messed up and gave him bad tax advice that left $70,000 of owed taxes in 17 states where he earned income going back to 2003.

Most of the income was from speeches and other paid appearances. Franken said he takes ultimate responsibility for the errors and will pay the money back.

"We made a mistake. And that I rectified. And I rectified it as quickly as I could," said Franken. No comments No trackbacks
