IRS chasing R Kelly for unpaid taxes
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 28 July 2011
Following the recent news that R Kelly is facing the possibility of losing his Chicago home after failing to make mortgage payments for a year, it seems the R&B star is now facing further financial troubles. WENN has reported that the IRS has been chasing Kelly for $837,000 in unpaid taxes since January, and has just dropped a new bill for $1 million.
As previously reported, a foreclosure action filed by JP Morgan Chase last month says that Kelly star hasn’t paid any money since June 2010 on his $2.9 million mortgage. The bank now wants to seize the property.
Not that Kelly will want to be dealing with any of this just now. As you’ll remember, he was admitted to Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital last week to receive treatment for an abscess on one of his tonsils. He was discharged on Thursday last week and is now recuperating at home. His spokesman said it’s still not clear how long it will be before Kelly can perform again. I’d imagine his accountant is hoping it’s fairly soon.
