18 Aug 2006 // A government watchdog group asked federal regulators Thursday to determine if Rep. Gary Miller failed to pay taxes on several real estate transactions.

A spokesman for Miller, R-Diamond Bar, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

The Los Angeles Times reported this month that Miller avoided paying millions of dollars in taxes on real estate deals under a tax break that protects people forced to sell their property. But local officials said they never made him sell his land, the newspaper said.

In a complaint, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington asked the Internal Revenue Service to determine if Miller evaded taxes.

Miller, a millionaire land developer, represents the 42nd District, which includes parts of Orange, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties.
