Unfortunately, Steve's tax issues have not gone away. During his 2024 Senate campaign, it was disclosed that Steve still owes between $350,000 and $750,000 in state and federal taxes. The disclosure further showed that Steve pays an 8% interest on the debt. The disclosure also reported that Garvey earns between $65,000 and $135,000 per year, mostly from his MLB pension.

In 2006, Garvey paid $550,000 for 5,037-square-foot home in Palm Desert, California, featuring four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Today this home is worth an estimated $2.5 million.

Within just a few years of that 1996 "financial disaster" declaration, in March 2000, Steve bought a 115-acre property in Park City, Utah called "The Boulders." The estate, which had been listed for $8 million prior to his purchase, features a 14,000-square-foot log cabin-style mansion with nine bedrooms, media room lap pool and caretaker's apartment. By mid-2003 Garvey was reportedly so overdue on his power bill that the utility company showed up to shut off the lights. It's unclear what ultimately happened with the estate, but Garvey does not appear to be the owner anymore. It was listed for sale in 2019 for $16 million. Here is a video tour:

Over the years Steve has experienced a number of financial problems and has been the subject of multiple liens on his property. In various court filings dating back to the early 2000s, he has claimed to be deeply in debt.

One of Garvey's former attorneys who was allegedly owed $235,000 described him as "once a Dodger, always a dodger." Steve remained on the Dodgers payroll decades after retiring to perform public appearances and television commentary, however at one point it was reported that half of his analyst paycheck was being garnished to pay spousal support.

In a 1996 court declaration, Steve claimed he had suffered a "financial disaster," resulting in nearly $1 million owed in back taxes. In the same declaration he claimed to owe his ex-wife $10,000, his wife's parents $40,000 and a former accountant $40,000.
