Ford’s spokeswoman confirmed to Gawker that the former Memphis congressman has never filed a New York return, which means he has never paid the state’s income tax even though he has kept an office and a residence in New York City as a vice chairman of Merrill Lynch since 2007.
"He pays New York taxes and will file a New York tax return in April for the first time," Ford's spokeswoman Tammy Sun told Gawker. "He will file all necessary personal disclosure and tax forms that candidates are required to file if he chooses to run."
Tennessee has no income tax. But New York law requires part-time and non-residents to pay income tax on money they earn in the state.
