Lauryn Hill Sent To Prison For Past Taxes
Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill has been sentenced to prison for failing to pay past taxes of about a $1 million. These tax debt owed to the IRS from her earnings as a singer between 2005-2007.
This is another show off by the IRS to send a message to the public by prisoning famous celebrities, the pitfalls of failure to pay taxes. Previous high profile celebrity jailed by IRS, was Wesley Snipes. Demand of past due taxes has compelled many celebrities to file for personal bankruptcy.
Hill pleaded guilty last year to three counts of failing to file tax returns between 2005 and 2007. Her tax debt on the earnings between those years was about $1.8 million. Before the sentencing, her attorney had said Hill had paid more than $970,000 to satisfy the state and federal tax liabilities. But she still owes about $1 million to the Federal and State government. more »
