A new report reveals that the tax payment of Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat Senator has a history of failing to pay taxes on time. The report shows that Manchin was late in making tax payments for real estate and personal property items, including cars and boats, Washington Free Beacon reported.

Late Tax Payment of Joe Manchin
In 2020, the tax payment of Joe Manchin was nearly $630 for taxes owed on vehicles and trailers from 2016 to 2018. These revelations come at a critical time as Manchin considers his political future, facing a potential reelection year and a challenge from West Virginia’s Republican governor, Jim Justice.
The timing of the late tax payment of Joe Manchin raises eyebrows, especially considering his role as the “chief architect” of the Inflation Reduction Act, which allocated $80 billion in new funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The budget, heavily criticized by Republicans, was intended for enforcement purposes. Republicans argue that Manchin’s support for increased IRS funding contradicts his failure to pay taxes on time, mainly targeting lower-income individuals.

The late tax payment of Joe Manchin has drawn criticism, with the National Republican Senatorial Committee labeling him a hypocrite. Manchin’s spokesperson defended him, stating that he has always paid his tax bills in full and rectified any lapse in payment once made aware of it.
As Manchin weighs his options for the future, including a potential Senate reelection run or even a third-party presidential bid, he has positioned himself as a vocal critic of President Joe Biden’s spending. However, his contradictory stance on the Inflation Reduction Act, initially praising it and later criticizing it, has raised concerns about his political maneuvering.
