Plaxico Burress was unemployed for much of the season before he was picked up by the Pittsburgh Steelers. That’s good for him because he has some IRS bills that need to be paid off. Read more after the jump.
A federal tax lien was filed against Plaxico and his wife last year, claiming the duo failed to pay income taxes for the years 2007 and 2009. All totaled, they owed $98,064.76.
Plaxico didn’t sign with an NFL team until late in the season. But once he did, he was finally able to pay off the lien, which the IRS officially released on January 8.
Plaxico still owes $159,000 from a car accident lawsuit and another $59k for alleged unpaid taxes to the State of NY.
