Chris Tucker has been hit with a new federal tax lien of $2.5M. That’s on top of the $12 million he already owes for past due taxes. That’s $14.5 million dollars! I’m not sure he’s even seen that much money before. A rep for Tucker says he’s already settled up.
According to newly filed IRS docs — obtained by TMZ — Tucker failed to pay a total of $2,496,138.24 in 2008 and 2010.
That means the actor now owes back taxes for 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2010.
Grand total — $14,068,047.50.
A rep for Chris tells us the actor just happened to settle up with the IRS on Friday. The rep was not specific about how it had been settled — full payment or installment plan.
Considering this is Chris Tucker, I’d bet on installment plan. They probably deduct 40% of his earnings each month which amounts to, oh, let’s be generous and say $15, give or take.
Almost as stupid as Wesley Snipes.
