Omarion Owes IRS Over $110,000 in Unpaid Taxes

Omarion is the latest musician to be put on blast for racking up a hefty tax bill. According to public records, the 25-year-old owes Uncle Sam $110,585 in unpaid taxes dating back to 2003.

Back in May, the IRS filed a $35,210 lien in Orange County against the R&B crooner, a $25,660 lien in October 2009, and a $49,715 filed in the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds in August of 2009. Omarion apparently failed to pay income taxes in 2003, 2005 and 2006. He also filed for bankruptcy in January but the case was later dismissed.

Luckily, Omarion's tax woes put him in good company among celebrities who owe Uncle Sam. Snoop Dogg, Tony Braxton, Nas and Young Buck have all found themselves in trouble for not paying their taxes. As previously reported Buck owes the IRS over $300,000 and will have his belongings auctioned off later this month to pay down the debt.

Although he gained notoriety as the former frontman, of the now defunct R&B group B2K, Omarion has since gone on to start a solo career. He dropped his third solo album 'Ollusion,' in January, which failed to live up to the sales standards set by his previous releases. 'Ollusion' debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard charts, selling only 21,200 copies in its first week.

all he has to do is set up a payment plan of $10.00 a week and do little by little claiming he thought his "accounant" screwed him. the i.r.s would rather see some money than nothing at all.

110K isn't squat. When he hits the 10 million mark, he can call himself successful.

I never understand the basic theory, My years as a tax accountant have taught me that if you owe taxes, you obviously earned the income on which they accrued.. So whats the big deal, pay the taxes as all of us do in the first place. You obviously made the money on which they were taxes. ( In many of these cases, alot of money) What were these dumb heads thinking in the first place- they were going to get out of it?? The IRS is not forgiving to anyone.

All that I can say is "GOOD" if we the general public have to pay our taxes weather we want to or not or weather we can afford to or not then these people who make ALOT more then we do should have to pony up as well.
