Pete Rose $1 Million Taxes, Pete Rose is back in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service, which says the baseball great owes nearly $1 million in unpaid taxes.
The IRS filed a federal tax lien in Broward County on Tuesday alleging that baseball's all-time hits king owes $973,693.28 in back taxes from 1997 to 2002.
The IRS did not return calls Friday seeking comment.
Rose's business manager, Warren Greene, declined comment, saying "it's a private matter with Pete and his family." Rose, 63, spent five months in prison in 1990 and 1991 for filing false tax returns.
Rose agreed to a lifetime ban from baseball in 1989 following an investigation that he bet on games. After 14 years of denial, he admitted in his recent book, My Prison Without Bars that he bet on games involving the Cincinnati Reds while managing the team in the late 1980s.
