Lindsay Lohan Owes Over $233K in Taxes, IRS Seize All Her Bank Accounts
When it rains it pours when it comes to legal troubles for actress Lindsay Lohan. On the heels of her recent arrest in New York and charges filed against her in Santa Monica for her role in a car crash earlier this year, now comes word the Internal Revenue Services has a hold of Lohan's bank accounts.
LiLo reportedly owes $233,904 in unpaid federal taxes from 2009 and 2010, and the IRS are pretty displeased. (PS She allegedly owes from 2011, too.) They've seized all of her bank accounts now, according to TMZ.
Back in January, the IRS put a lien on Lohan's Encino home in order to resolve $94,000 in taxes owed from 2009.
Last week news of her tax troubles began to circulate, prompting fellow actor Charlie Sheen to offer Lohan $100,000 to go towards her debt with Uncle Sam.
But that still leaves Lohan in the lurch for some big bucks, and she has some big lawyers' fees coming up, too, since she's got more court (and probably jail) time coming her way. Meanwhile, Lohan's estranged pop Michael is wondering (like so many of us are) where the heck all of her money went.
A few months ago a massive tab at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont hotel got the starlet temporarily banned from the premises; it seems unlikely the softies at the IRS will be so forgiving.
