IRS Places $7.3M Tax Lien on Floyd Mayweather
4 Jul
Summary
- IRS filed a $7.3 million federal tax lien against Mayweather.
- The lien is for unpaid taxes from 2018 and 2023.
- This is not Mayweather's first tax dispute with the IRS.
A $7.3 million federal tax lien has been placed against retired boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. for unpaid taxes related to the 2018 and 2023 tax years. The lien, filed in Las Vegas, allows the government to claim interest in certain assets until the debt is resolved.
This situation marks another chapter in Mayweather's ongoing disputes with the IRS. In the past, he was ordered to pay approximately $5.5 million in tax deficiencies and an additional $1.1 million in penalties for his 2017 taxes. He also previously settled a significant tax obligation of around $22.2 million for the 2015 tax year.
A federal tax lien is a powerful collection tool for the IRS, establishing a legal claim against a taxpayer's property when tax debts are not paid after proper notice. While it doesn't immediately mean asset seizure, it can impede financial transactions like borrowing or selling property until the debt is cleared.
