Skyjacker owes I.R.S. $218,635

PORTLAND — (AP) — Dan (D. B.) Cooper, the sky pirate who vanished somewhere be- tween Seattle and Reno in 1971, now owes the federal govern- ment more than the $200,000 he took with him.

The Internal Revenue Service says Cooper owes $218,635 in tax- es on the money he extorted. That's assuming he is alive, sin- gle and never filed a return on the money.

The I.R.S. figures Cooper would be taxed $53,090 on the first $100,000 and $70,000 on the next $100,000. If he intended to cheat the government out of its share, the civil fraud penalty is 50 per cent of the tax due, or $61,545.

Interest at 7 per cent a year is $34,000. Total: $218,635.
