Lauryn Hill allegedly owes a substantial six-figure sum in back taxes, more than a decade after she spent time behind bars over issues with the IRS … but the legendary singer’s spokesperson tells us the entertainer is handling the matter.
According to official records, the New Jersey Division of Taxation filed two separate liens against the Grammy-award-winning entertainer. The first was over an unpaid debt totaling $133,246 … and the second was over $758,912.02. Both liens remain active in the system.
A spokesperson for Lauryn tells TMZ … “Ms. Hill is complying with a repayment plan she entered into with the State of New Jersey to resolve state income tax liabilities incurred after cancellation of a tour, which greatly impacted the tour’s cash flow.”
It appears to relate to Lauryn and the Fugees plan to tour in 2024 … which they called off days before the first show.
Back in 2012, Lauryn pleaded guilty to three counts of tax evasion. Prosecutors accused the legendary singer of failing to file returns on $1.8 million she earned between 2005 to 2007.
Lauryn was released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Connecticut in October 2013.
