Alec Baldwin dodging paying his taxes

The libtards running New York City have run all sane people out of town with their ridiculously high taxes and now their leftard buddies like Alec Baldwin are dodging the very taxes they celebrated! Will liberal hypocrisy never cease? Alec Baldwin is one of the biggest libs on the planet and yet he somehow feels justified avoiding paying his fair share of taxes. I don't get it Alec. I thought you believed that the "rich" don't pay their fair share of taxes. I'm SURE you make over $250,000 a year. I'm sure you have made MILLIONS in your life. Come on pal, SPREAD THE WEALTH! Every word out of your mouth is in favor of more socialism...you want socialism but you want someone else to pay for it? 

He’s also the tool who promised he’d move to Canada if George Bush won re-election. Of course, he’s a liberal…which means he’s also a liar. Hey, I'm not American and I would've voted Bush just to get rid of him! Hope the tax man takes you for every cent.....

Actor Alec Baldwin has joined a list of elite New Yorkers targeted by tax collectors who think they're fibbing about where they really live to dodge New York City income taxes.

In recent years, auditors have confronted hundreds of super-wealthy New Yorkers over the residency rules - including star Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter.

Facing shrinking revenues, the state has ramped up its pursuit of suspected tax dodgers, hiring 189 new auditors and - for the first time - making filers swear under oath on tax forms as to how many days they "spend in New York City."

If it's more than 183 days and the filer has a residence in the city, the tax bill goes up.

Baldwin, star of NBC's "30 Rock," owns a three-bedroom co-op on Central Park West, a house in the Hamptons and a pad near his daughter in Los Angeles.

He spends lots of time in the city doing the show, but claims the Hamptons as home base. That made him one of hundreds of people slapped with an audit in 2009.

"The moment you start working regularly [in the city], the city finance people come after you," Baldwin recently told an audience at City College.

Neither Baldwin nor tax officials would discuss his case with the Daily News.

Tax expert Barry Horowitz said the aggressive tactics are designed to boost the state's coffers.

"Everybody is looking for more money. Everybody is increasing scrutiny of tax returns," said Horowitz, a Manhattan accountant. He said 40% of his clients' audits are over residency rules.

Such audits require taxpayers to assemble an arsenal of documents - credit card receipts, bank, telephone and computer records - to prove where they were on specific days.

Auditors grill taxpayers on where their children go to school and where their doctors and clergy are located. They also comb through records looking for parking tickets or rental agreements that may show the filer is fibbing about spending 183 days or fewer in the city.

A filer who lies could face fraud charges and open the door to more extensive audits.

Most residency audits hit wealthy people who claim to live out of the state entirely. But about 25% involve people, like Baldwin, who concede they live in the state part time. The 596 city residency audits done in 2009 generated $239 million in additional revenue.

Many audits bring bad news.
