“Nancy Funfar says she was burned by a now-defunct website that sold her name-brand cigarettes and stuck her with a $3,700 tax bill and a resulting lien on her home. Pennsylvania’s Department of Revenue says Funfar and at least 23,000 other residents cheated the state by not paying state and local taxes on more than 1.9 million cartons of cigarettes they bought online or through the mail. Some owe tens of thousands of dollars, department data show. The Department of Revenue began pushing to collect the unpaid taxes five years ago, following the lead of other states and the federal government, department spokeswoman Elizabeth Brassell said.”
