Wesley Snipes must pay $9.5 million in back taxes to IRS
Fox News ^ | 11/02/2018 | Morgan Evans

Wesley Snipes has been ordered to pay back taxes despite trying hard to convince the Internal Revenue Service that he doesn't have the funds, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The outlet reported Thursday that the IRS originally attempted to collect $23.5 million from the actor, to which he responded with an offer-in-compromise (OIC) for $850,000, a mechanism that would have let him settle his debt and have the tax lien against his home withdrawn.

But the IRS rejected the offer, which prompted Snipes to file a petition to overturn the decision.

On Thursday, however, tax court Judge Kathleen Kerrigan delivered the "Blade" actor a final blow, when she said that Snipes failed to convince the court that he doesn't have the assets to pay more than $850,000.

He fought the law, and the law won.

So, he’s STILL not paying taxes? You think beating the IRS in court (which he did) would have made him feel like he was ahead of the game.

This isn’t the way it works. All you need to do is call Tony DeBetto at 1-900-AtIRS and Ton makes a few calls and your IRS debt goes away. Doesn’t Wesley watch TV?

Enjoyed watching him play a vampire in his Blade series of films; a talented actor. But we know who the real vampires are - IRS collectors!

He should have called Tax Defense partners!

You don’t want to fight this fight alone.

You need the “heavyweights” in your corner.

Tax Defense Partners are THE experts and the only tax resolution firm I recommend.

That would be awesome. They could make 4,5,& 6 where Blade hunts down and ashes all the vampires that put us through the Twilight series!

If they teamed him up with the original Buffy as the long lost illegitimate daughter of Whistler that would make a fortune!

Snipes was paid the money (as in earned), spent it and didn't pay his taxes. Simple enough. He shouldn't be treated any differently even if he is a friend of Al Sharpton and Obama. Maybe he shouldn't have taken Sharptons advice on (not) paying taxes.

“He fought the law, and the law won.”

Scam is more like it. The IRS is the collection agency for foreign bankers.

But not so for Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson.
