HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Aaron Carter is the latest celeb in trouble with the tax man.
The former Dancing with the Stars contestant owes the IRS more than a $1 million in back taxes, court records show.
Carter, 21, owes more than $965,000 from 2003 alone. He also failed to pay $45,350.11 from income earned in 2006.
When reached by Entertainment Tonight, which first reported the IRS scandal, Carter’s rep said the entertainer was “mismanaged” as a child star.
“It is unfortunate that while Aaron was a minor, his finances were grossly mismanaged by his previous team which has lead to the current situation of which he was unaware of until today,” said the rep in a statement. “Aaron is working with a new team to take appropriate actions towards speedy resolution of the matter and looks forward to putting this behind him and moving forward with the next stage of his music career.”
Carter famously broke into tears last week when he was voted off DWTS.
He joins a growing list of celebs who have run into trouble with the IRS in recent years, including Wesley Snipes and Nicolas Cage.
