Tax Problems of the Stars - Celebrities Owing IRS Back Taxes Though the Years

I recently blogged about the Worst Cases of Celebrity Tax Evasion- and the tax resolution lessons we can learn from these high-profile cases to make sure you don’t land in IRS trouble!

I came across another article on FoxNews.com about the Tax Problems of the Stars - which feature both recent headlines and some blasts from the past. Here are some highlights:

Nicholas Cage recently made headlines for his huge tax liabilities - the IRS has filed more than $6.3 million in tax liens against the actor for back taxes owed. And earlier this year it was reported that celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay owed £7 million in back taxes.

Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz landed in financial trouble lately, including a reported $1.5 million owed in back taxes

Country singer Willie Nelson got hit with a $16.7 million bill for back taxes in 1990 and consequently recorded the album “The IRS Tapes: Who’ll Buy My Memories?”  - with all proceeds going directly to Uncle Sam to pay off the IRS debt.

In 2002, tennis champ Boris Becker was convicted of tax evasion in Germany, sentenced to two years probation and was ordered to pay 3 million euros in back taxes and another 500,000 euros in fines and charitable contributions.
