IRS to Chris Tucker: We Haven't Forgotten Your $11.5 Mil Debt (TMZ)

Filed under: Chris Tucker, Celebrity Justice

The IRS hasn’t forgotten about Chris Tucker’s $11.5 million debt ... TMZ has learned that Uncle Sam is still trying to collect their cash ... 17 months after slapping the actor with a big, fat tax bill.

According to the L.A. County Recorder’s Office, the lien issued against Tucker back in July 2010 is still active ... which means, he still owes money ... which means the government can legally seize his assets.


TMZ broke the story ... the IRS claims Tucker stiffed them out of income tax during multiple years ... including 2001, when Tucker allegedly raked in a $20 mil payday for “Rush Hour 2.”

Still, Tucker is finally laughing at his financial troubles in a standup routine, joking last weekend, “that’s the last time I let Wesley Snipes help me out with my taxes.”

No comment from Tucker's camp.
