Music Biz: Rick Ross $5.7 Million IRS Dept … I’ve Got Your Dough (IRS)
Rick Ross is dead serious about coming clean with Uncle Sam — he hired new accountants and is close to wiping out his tax debt.
The rapper tells TMZ the $5.7 million he owes in back taxes is an issue that arose from an incorrect tax filing in 2012 by his previous accountants. Rick tells us he’s not only hired a new team to correct the filing but has already paid a large portion of the debt.
TMZ broke the story … the feds issued a tax lien against Rozay for owing a little more than $4.6 million in 2012 alone, plus more in 2013 and 2014.
Ross tells us, “As anyone who has dealt with the IRS understands, it is a process.”
