On Monday evening Lawrence County Clerk Brandi Parker gave the justices updates on the current penalties being levied against Lawrence County by the Internal Revenue Service.
Lawrence County has more than $200,000 in IRS penalties and fees levied against the county for what is being described as a failure of a past administration.
According to Parker, these fees and penalties stem from the previous administration and are for the years of 2014-2022.
The penalties and fees are associated with numerous failures to submit required IRS forms along with the penalties accrued over the years.
Parker stated that her office was working with a taxpayer advocate with the IRS in an attempt to resolve/reduce IRS debt.
Parker stated her office submitted the required filings back in August with hopes of having this resolved, Parker stated her office is resubmitting paperwork in hopes of having a resolution by the November meeting.
