Will celebrities ever learn the IRS doesn’t play around, they will take all your possession and then send you to prison? Its evident that times are tough, even for the government, because the I.R.S. has been on a roll making attempts to collect on their money from various celebrities, including several rappers, actors and singers.
R. Kelly is the latest singer on the I.R.S.’s target list as he reportedly owes $4.8 million in back taxes after “not paying anything” on his earnings for almost seven years!

According to the documents filed by the Internal Revenue Service, the “Trapped in the Closet” singer stopped paying taxes in 2005. However, Kelly is confident the matter can be resolved.
Here’s a break down of the money he owes
2005 – $1,472,366.77
2006 – $710,520.51
2007 – $376.180.11
2008 – $1,122,694.90
2009 – $173,815.18
2010 – $992,495.24
Bringing his grand total to $4,848,072.71. The I.R.S. doesn’t miscalculate a single penny.
After his mentor and good friend, Ron Isley, was locked up for failure to pay taxes, we would think R. Kelly would be more careful with ignoring the government. Pay the Man.
