JUNEAU, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin must pay back taxes on nearly $18,000 in expenses she charged the state for living in her home outside Anchorage instead of in Juneau, the state capital, officials said Wednesday.
A review of state policy and Internal Revenue Service tax laws determined the per diem payments should be treated as income, Department of Administration commissioner Annette Kreitzer said.
Palin’s spokesman, Bill McAllister, said Wednesday that he didn’t know if Palin was still collecting per diem or if she would continue to do so.
