According to public records, Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Child owes a lot of money to the IRS. On November 8th the IRS filed a $98,634 lien against the singer with the State of New York.
I hate when I hear stories of celebrities with serious money not paying their taxes. Between her years with Destiny’s Child and her solo work, Kelly should have more than enough money to pay her taxes and hire an accountant to make sure that it’s done right. Plus, I’m pretty sure the IRS doesn’t come after you for one year of not paying your taxes. There’s too many citizens for that. Does this mean that Kelly’s been blowing off the government for years? Yikes… Maybe she shouldn’t have fired Matthew Knowles…
I made a mistake on my New York State tax return one year before I started using a program to calculate and file my taxes. It was an honest mistake on my part from a misunderstanding of the way that the taxes worked. It took the state of NY four years to figure out that I owed them 200-some-odd dollars in taxes and send me a bill. With the budget cuts and less state workers, I wouldn’t be surprised if the lead time was even longer now. In other words, these taxes could have been owing for quite some time.
FUCK THIS FUCKING BITCH! She had better not make some deal and pay way less than what she owes!
Maybe she’ll use the same excuse Wesley Snipes did: He didn’t have to pay taxes, because the tax laws were illegally enacted. Since he finally is starting to serve his 3 year sentence for tax evasion, he’ll have a long time to figure out that racism / “the man” / the Grinch had nothing to do with sending him to federal prison, his own stupidity did.
