Marc Anthony Hit With $3.4 Million Tax Lien: Report

Tax day can never be fun for Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, but this must be even worse: Anthony was hit with a tax lien of $3.4 million, Radar Online reports.

Within the span of three months (January-March, 2010), Anthony was hit with back bills of $1.8 and $1.6 million for unpaid taxes on his Long Island estate. Radar was unable to learn if they had been paid back, as both Anthony and his manager refused to respond to questions.

Of course, it wasn't a one-time mistake for Anthony; in 2007, he was hit with $2.5 million in back tax bills, a culmination of not paying up for four years.

Why they allegedly sought to skip out on taxes is unclear; according to a 2008 People article, Lopez takes in around $20 million a year (with fashion companies estimated to be worth $225 as of 2008) and Anthony pulls in $11 million. The couple are also now investors in the NFL's Miami Dolphins.

Pay the IRS first. Good advice for anyone. Get a good accountant with ethics. Good advice for any celeb. Don't these people have accountants to advise them?

No worries, Marc has just made a shrewd investment by purchasing Val Kilmer's ranch.

Was is it with typical singers and actors, whose IQ plummets the more successful they get?

The IRS catches up to you one way or another with some marvelous penalties.

This is sort of unrelated to the topic, but I didn't even recognize J Lo in that picture. If Marc Anthony weren't standing with her, I would have had no idea who she was! She just looks...different.

I recognized J Lo right away but even then, I don't know who the hell the guy is.... or do I care.

I was stunned when I saw her photo: She's had so much work done, she doesn't look like herself anymore.

Yeah, I'd have more money in my bank account too if I didn't pay my taxes. Losers!
