Martha Stewart’s daughter is suing her accountant over mistakes on her tax return that she says cost her hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Alexis Stewart says in a lawsuit filed Wednesday that she hired accountant Michael Mirras (MEER’-ras) to do her taxes for 2002, the year she sold her Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia stock.
The 43-year-old radio and TV host says Mirras miscalculated the amount she owed the Internal Revenue Service.
Stewart says an IRS examiner found she owed $737,000 in taxes and $143,000 in interest. She says almost $295,000 in penalties was reduced to $110,000 by negotiation. Her lawsuit asks for $334,000 from Mirras.
