This article is a sad reminder that the IRS won’t go away in life, and in death. Anna Nicole Smith is now another celebrity victim of back taxes, as the IRS issued a Tax Lien on the now deceased actress’ estate.
According to WebCPA:
The Internal Revenue Service has filed a $125,112.86 federal tax lien against the late Anna Nicole Smith, nearly two years after the former Playboy Playmate of the Year and reality TV star died.
The tax lien, was filed in December 2008. Anna Nicole Smith, whose real name was Vickie Lynn Marshall, died in February 2007 of a prescription drug overdose. The California State Franchise Tax Board also billed Smith’s estate in September for $43,280.66 in unpaid taxes from her 2007 return, along with penalties and interest.
A preliminary hearing into Smith’s death is currently taking place in Los Angeles to determine whether there is enough evidence to show that her former lawyer and companion Howard K. Smith and two physicians should stand trial for illegally providing her with prescription medication.
