David Allan Coe is now a convicted felon
New York Post ^ | June 14, 2016

Posted on 06/14/2016 11:24:51 AM PDT by sparklite2

The “Take This Job and Shove It” singer has been ordered to pay the IRS more than $980,000 after pleading guilty to tax evasion and failing to pay $466,000 in back taxes, interest and penalties, prosecutors said.

Coe, 76, was also sentenced Monday in Cincinnati federal court to three years’ probation.

Federal prosecutors said the singer played more than 100 concerts a year between 2008 and 2013, but asked to be paid in cash to avoid paying Uncle Sam.

May as well. It’ll probably rain, and trains are dangerous.

The only Coe songs I know are from his Underground Album put out in the early 80’s. Never laughed so hard in my life ;)

How ‘bout people older then 65 don’t gotta pay income taxes,


I’m over 65 and don’t pay income taxes. I get social security, then draw down from my IRA an amount that, combined with SS, keeps my income below the taxable bracket.

I live within my means, and do just fine.

Lots of artists get in tax problems

Taxes can be complicated....what can really mess one up is valuations when the govt overvalued

Waylon had similar issues....Willie too

I met Coe once at Waylon’s office...a huge scary man....he needed a loan...had two young hot women with him though

Funny how many Texas country sorts are actually Yankee born and reared

Coe and Jerry Jeff come to mind and boy Jerry sure sings southern sounding doesn’t he?

I like much of Coe work but I wouldn’t mess with him

Start adding up everything your taxes go to that doesn’t work, like public schools and ICE. Not to mention lois lerner. And he can ask to be cell mates with sharp ton.

I’ll be drunk the day he gets out of prison.

And you'll be driving your mama in your truck in the rain.

Yeah! After paying our whole lives why do we have to wait until death to stop? You want to live below taxable? Not me.

That is too bad. The income tax is voluntary and the government breaks the law to enforce that phony tax. Irwin Schiff is a hero, martyr and patriot!

Taxes aren’t complicated. Trying to avoid them is complicated. But getting paid in cash because he thinks the IRS won’t figure it out is ignorant. The venues are expensing those concerts so the IRS knows about them.
Better yet, he turns in expenses for the concerts but doesn’t show any revenue. The IRS will pick up on that as well.
And they will bide their time knowing they will eventually get him. Meanwhile, he is sitting around fat, dumb and happy until it is time to pay the lawyers.

If IRS would release a listing suspect we would find that at least half of the DC employees have never paid or are behind on their Federal tax.
