Stars Behind Bars


Not all of the articles that appear on this page refer strictly to celebrities who are fighting the tax and accounting authorities. From time to time there might be good news about celebrities who are helping underpriveleged people with tax preparation. Maybe there will be news of politicians who are going above and beyond to help taxpayers by lobbying for intelligent and simplified tax laws. But for the most part, we expect to have fun on this page at the expense of those folks who make the headlines by making a mess of their financial lives.

Meanwhile, don't forget to read our Sitcom tax series - humorous articles about how America's sitcom programs interpret the tax laws. You'll be laughing in the aisles!
