Chris Tucker is still struggling to pay off his massive tax debt and now Uncle Sam is on the hunt to collect.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, the 50-year-old comedian was hit with a federal tax lien by the IRS on June 4.
The lien accuses Tucker of owing money for the years 2002, 2006, 2008, and 2010. He owes a total of $4,489,647.01 for 2002, $2,124,082.86 for 2006, $2,341,269.29 for 2008 and $468,598 for 2010.
The government placed the lien against one of Tucker’s properties in Henderson, Nevada. The lien warns the Friday actor if he doesn’t cough up the cash quickly, they will begin the process of seizing his assets.
Tucker has been haunted by tax debt for the past decade. Back in 2011, SunTrust bank sued the actor seeking to foreclose on his Florida mansion over a $4.4 million debt.
At the time, the IRS had placed a lien against the property over $11 million owed by Tucker. He also owed the state of Georgia $590k in unpaid state taxes.
