Even if you’re a famous television personality, IRS tax liens happen
The bottom line is that the IRS will get its money. Regardless of whatever station you assume in life; if you owe them money, they will get it. Once or twice a year we hear a story about a random celebrity being in trouble for some sort of tax evasion. If anything, the publicity generated from these stories is just another reminder that no matter whom you are. Recently, MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry and her husband, James Perry had an IRS tax lien filed against them for the amount of $70,000 in delinquent taxes.
On April 6th the IRS filed a tax lien on the Perrys for their outstanding taxes, dating back form 2013. Harris-Perry was reported to have not known about the tax lien but knew about the issues and had paid $21,721 up until the lien was filed.
Harris-Perry isn’t the only MSNBC affiliate to not pay her taxes on time, but the Rev. Al Sharpton had more than 4.5 million in current state and federal tax liens against him and for his for-profit businesses.
Luckily for you, if you’re a little bit behind on your taxes, you won’t get pulled through the media mud. The good news is, is that there are options to help you get on top of the situation of past taxes. If you’re having a hard time figuring out a way to get the IRS off of your back, you may want to look into an IRS tax attorney like Tax Tiger.
