Imprisoned ex-NBA player misses his shot at fighting his tax bill — and now he owes more than $36,000

The IRS filed Tate George's tax return for him while he was incarcerated.

C. Tate George, a four-year NBA player in the 1990s before his 2013 real-estate Ponzi scheme conviction, said the Internal Revenue Service fouled him by filing his taxes while he was locked up.

The IRS correctly determined George had an unpaid tax balance of $28,696 and owed almost $9,000 in additional fees, Halpern said in a decision released earlier last week. George has maintained his innocence and he’s representing himself behind bars in a pending challenge on his case. He said if he had access to all his documents and did his own returns, he might have itemized deductions, which could have been more than the $6,100 standard deduction theGeorge complained that paying the amount would be a hardship for him and his family. He didn’t offer specifics about the alleged hardship, Halpern noted.
