Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre is refusing to turn over his tax returns in the Mississippi welfare fraud case he has been embroiled in for more than a year, according to A.J. Perez of Front Office Sports.
The Mississippi Department of Human Services has requested a judge 27 times to compel Favre to comply with the subpoenas requesting his tax returns from 2017 to '20. The tax filings requested allegedly connect Favre to around $8 million in funds obtained from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program in that span.
Mississippi was given $70 million from the federal government through the TANF program, designed to help families in need, but the state is accused of using those funds inappropriately.
