Republican gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley has consistently missed the April 15 tax-filing deadline, according to additional records released Wednesday, filing her income taxes more than a year late in 2005 and 2006.

Haley, a Lexington County state representative, has paid more than $4,000 in late-payment penalties since 2004. She has emphasized her accounting experience on the campaign trail.

In two years the Haley family paid only $83 in state income taxes.

“Like many others, the Haleys availed themselves of the opportunity to file extensions when necessary,” spokesman Rob Godfrey said in a statement. “And when they got their taxes prepared, they filed them and paid any interest they were required to.”

1. Does she also only brush her teeth once a day?

Extensions --> filing late by the rules.

My MIL has routinely filed late. Sometimes because she was too busy caring for her dying husband, sometimes because she couldn't sort through the piles of paper she needed to wrangle.

Find a story that says that she filed late and broke the rules. That'll be far more interesting.
