Officials accuse Jeter of tax fraud
New York State tax officials say that the Yankee star Derek Jeter claimed he lived in Florida to avoid paying city and state income taxes for several years, when he was actually living in New York, according to documents filed last week with an administrative law judge. Jeter, one of the highest-paid players in baseball, filed nonresident income tax returns to New York State between 2001 and 2003, claiming that he lived primarily at his off-season home in Florida, which, unlike New York, has no state income tax. But officials at the State Division of Taxation and Finance argued that Jeter's primary residence during those years was in New York, where he owns an apartment in the Trump World Tower, near the United Nations, and has rented or owned other living space as well.

According to reports in the paper this AM "there is no suggestion of criminal wrongdoing."
But come on Derek, how much do you make and how much are you going to pay your lawyers to deal with this? Pay the freaking taxes.

The Yankees haters on this site are in need of some serious therapy. If the man owes back taxes, I think he has the funds to pay them. You are all pretty pathetic. Your jealousy of the greatest team in the history of world sports is completely evident. GET A FRUCKIN' LIFE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Living in the past, Bronx Bomber in Jpn. There are 7 year olds living in New York right now wondering if the Yankees will ever win a championship in their lifetime! :-)

I never live in the past and I don't know where you get your information from,jscout33 but I don't worry about what a seven-year-old is thinking. I'm worried about them getting another quality starter and a good fielding first baseman with a decent bat. Look at the last 1/2 of the past season and you'll see they had a great record even with mediocre pitching. Pitching wins in the playoffs and that's been their achilles heel for the past few years.

Look, I don't really care whether he owes taxes or not. I just hate how anything that involves the Yankees bring out the haters on this and other sites. Besides, the Feds have to win the case first. They'll probably figure out something and settle it before it goes to a judge and all the Yankees haters will scream that he got away with murder.

I'll bet anyone he is just one of many players who do this. Heck, my boss lives and works in Virginia, but has florida plates on his cars and has a Florida address, so he doesn't have to pay Va state taxes. It happens all the time.

This is such a non-story (and I'm not a yankee fan). Do you really think DJ sits at his dinner table doing his OWN taxes each April? Come on, it's his accountant that will take the fall for this.
