The Osbournes Owe Nearly $2 Million in Back Taxes

By Sarah Crow Posted Apr 11th 2011 01:00PM

The Osbourne family may have a hectic schedule, with their hands in the music, fashion, and TV businesses, but it seems their multitasking has come at a high price.

The New York Daily News reports that Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are being accused of dodging the tax man for a number of years, and now he's come to collect.

The couple are accused of skipping out on tax bills of $718,948.25 and $1.03 million in 2008 and 2009, leaving them a debt of nearly $1.7 million.

Sharon and Ozzy aren't the only ones in hot water with Uncle Sam: Daughter Kelly reportedly owes the IRS a cool $34,000.

After learning of the mistake, Sharon wrote on her Twitter that she believed someone in her employ was taking charge of her financial affairs.

"You can't rely on anyone but yourself," Osbourne tweeted. "You have to be on top of your own business affairs. My fault........lesson learned."

That's not stupid. I took a telephone order for the Disney catalog from actress Shannon Tweed. She used a financial firm located in NYC to pay for everything. They probably handled all of her taxes as well.

Tell the I.R.S. to kiss it Ozzy!!

Sharon stop laughing on all your shows and start being mature enough to pay your taxes or bills on time. Are you special that you can owe that much late???? I couldn't get away with it. You can't pay your taxes on time but you know where all your money is and its growing how convenient for you to get richer and not pay your taxes.

The Osbournes are all skanks...how do these dead beats get to live and stay in the US..if it were you and I, the regular joes we would be in jail. Sharon should be kicked off of Americas Got Talent and her kids need to go to a fat farm and Ozziee....well, he is so brain dead he can hardly walk..this herd are morally bankrupt...ship them bak to England!

Is that all the Osbourne's owe?? What a surprise With Sharon working her new show and America's Got Talent and Ossiz making money I would think they would owe alot more. Maybe the IRS should look into this more closely.

I wish I could be so calm knowing I owed that much to the government! I guess they have it. Wouldn't it be nice to have that much in reserve and not panick?
