From the Houston Chronicle:
WILMINGTON, Del. — Add the taxman to the list of government officials worried about the finances of New Century Financial Corp., the once-giant subprime mortgage lender that crashed into bankruptcy last month.
Mary Wright, an adviser with the Internal Revenue Service, said at a meeting of creditors Tuesday that New Century appears to owe the U.S. government at least $400 million. She said the Irvine, Calif., company and several of its subsidiaries hadn't filed corporate and payroll-tax returns.
She said the IRS is conducting an examination into the matter.
"We want to make sure we have accurate assessments," concerning New Century's liabilities, Wright said. The IRS has tried to get additional information from New Century, she said, but the company hasn't returned the agency's calls.
