Federal Tax Liens
Mark Begich had no problem raising taxes on the people of Anchorage numerous times, but he apparently has problems paying his own.
In 1995, Begich and the business in which he was general partner, North Star Vending, had a federal tax lien placed against them. The lien related to tax 941, which, according to the IRS, is an employer payroll tax. In 1995, it was an unpaid balance of $8,820.81.

Two years later, it happened again. In 1997, Begich and his business faced an unpaid balance of $8,024.88.
The two liens were for nine separate taxes from 1992, 1993 and 1995.1,2
