According to the Detroit News, less than a year ago, Chris Tucker, the Rush Hour star, had a $3,594,409 tax lien filed against him by California tax officials in Sacramento County Court. Tucker owes the taxes for the years 2001-02 and 2004-07 when he was actually making movies. Since he has not made a film since Rush Hour 3, it is hoped that Tucker saved enough from his $20 million dollar pay days to cover the tax lien. If not, the Rush Hour star with a criminal history could find some of his expensive luxury assets seized or he might have to have an auction like boxer Thomas Hearns to cover the tax bill. With a criminal history, Tucker needs to put these problems behind him.
Tucker is the latest celebrity to be named and shamed as indebted to the already financially struggling state. Finding fame in Friday with Ice Cube and the Rush Hour films with Jackie Chan, Tucker became infamous for being extremely difficult to work with on a movie set, throwing tantrums and screaming fits. Even though he has made millions in earnings he has failed to be compliant with California tax laws for several years now and that has just all caught up with him.
Since California is in such a drastic financial crisis, they are coming after delinquent taxpayers with a vengeance. The California Franchise Tax Board has been given a mission to collect all delinquent tax bills owed so they can help the state rescue itself from the financial crisis. Supposedly, Tucker has been talking to Ice Cube about starring in a third movie to complete the Friday. In addition, it has been rumored that Quentin Tarantino wants to make a war movie with Tucker and Brett Ratner is developing a film with Tucker about the personal valet to Frank Sinatra.
Without question, Tucker should hop on one of these movie roles and restock his finances. In addition, he should contact a tax professional like the tax experts at the Tax Resolution Institute. Beyond having experience helping high profile celebrities with tax problems, TRI knows how to provide wealthy individuals with effective financial and tax planning so nothing bad happens in the future. With a strong hand at the wheel, Chris Tucker’s financial life can steer right back on track.
