Tsk Tsk: R. Kellly Owes The IRS $4.8 Million !!!

R.KELLY now joins the embarrassing list of celebrities that somewhere along the line think they no longer have to pay their taxes.

It is being reported that the  Chicago native owes the government a whopping $4.8 million dollars, after not paying his taxes the last seven years.

Documents show the 45-year-old owes $1.47 million from 2005, $710,520 from 2006, $376.180 from 2007, $1.122 from 2008, $173,815 from 2009, $992,495 from 2010, bringing the final total to $4,848 million.

Despite the large number, R.KELLY’s camp says the situation is being worked out.

“R. Kelly is in the process of working everything out with the government and is confident that all his obligations will be satisfied,” a rep for KELLY told TMZ.
