IRS can pursue Stanford for taxes

U.S. District Judge David C. Godbey in Dallas also granted Friday the request of the Internal Revenue Service to order /*Stanford*/ to file his tax return for 2007 by April 15. Stanford and his wife, Susan, may owe taxes in addition to the $226.6 million for 1999-2003, the IRS said in a court filing.

Stanford was charged with fraud last month by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a civil proceeding. He has been ordered to surrender his passport but hasn't been charged with a crime.
