Uh oh, sexy actor Morris Chestnut has joined the ranks of the many celebrities who are behind on their taxes.
According to the DETNews, he owes more than $215,800 in delinquent federal taxes. Public records show, IRS filed a tax lien in the amount of $217,817 against Chestnut and his wife on January 7, 2010 with the Los Angeles County Recorded of Deeds.
Apparently, Chestnut does not agree with the amount listed in the lien and is disputing it.
Morris Chestnut co-stars in an ABC television series, “V” which is set to return Tuesday(Mar 30) 2010.
This is another example why you must save cash and stay out of debt. With all of the movies he has been in there shouldn’t be any reason why he should be facing these types of problems. I understand that a mistake could have been made on the figuring of his taxes, but he should have the money to at least make an offer in compromise to the IRS. He could settle that for about $75,000 to $100,000 cash.
