Lauryn Hill Now Facing State Tax Troubles

We previously mentioned that singer Lauryn Hill was facing tax evasion charges for failing to pay her federal tax bill from 2005 through 2007.

In late June, Hill plead guilty to the charges and now faces a November sentencing date and up to three years in a New Jersey prison, where she would immediately become the crowd favorite at Tuesday night Karaoke.

Yesterday, news came down that Hill was also delinquent on her New Jersey tax obligations to the tune of $440,000. Of course, unless the State is content to be paid in cigarettes, I wouldn’t expect that debt to be settled while Hill is serving time.
