Fox News - Despite their high-priced tax attorneys and mega-millions, big stars can find themselves in big trouble come tax time. Take Hollywood director Martin Scorsese. He was recently nailed with a $2.85 million bill for unpaid taxes. Scorsese was charged for past-due tax and related interest penalties. Although Scorsese’s spokeswoman Leslee Dart says the entire amount is now paid in full and that he has no current IRS debts, sources say the Oscar-winning director’s tax woes are due to his dealings with celebrity accountant Kenneth Starr. Starr was jailed for seven and a half years for a $33 million ponzi scheme, and has duped other superstars in his corrupt plots. He scammed Hollywood heavyweights such as Uma Thurman, Lauren Bacall and Al Pacino, to name a few.
Is H&R Block not set up out in Hollywood? It seems like they're missing out on a potential gold mine if not. I mean, Fox could literally just recycle this story every tax season and just fill in different names, mad-libs style.
Hey Hollywood, stop paying millions to tax advisors who only get you in trouble, just take a stroll down the street to your seasonal H&R block office and pay your taxes like the rest of us, jeez. They'll even guarantee an accurate return or they'll pay the resulting fees. Does your sleezeball tax lawyer do that?
I know it's not the glamorous thing to do, you want the greasy haired cheese ball, talking up tax shelters and islands in the Maldives. But newsflash, all that guy is going to do is get you a bill for millions from Uncle Sam and the constant fear of sodomy style rape while you're doing time in the can for tax evasion like Wesley Snipes. I bet if you ask Wesley if he could do it over again, he'd choose freedom and the pimply faced accountant right out of college working temp status Jan-April over whatever fancy scumbag was advising him before.
If I'm H&R Block I'm working on a commercial right now, showing all these stars going to the poor house over back taxes and opening up an upscale boutique office on Rodeo Drive this week, gauranteeing financial security and accurate returns.
