We’re always hearing about the IRS coming down on celebrities, so it’s a peculiar change of pace to see a star publicly fight back. Alleged tax evader Sharon Osbourne took her Twitter this weekend to claim that, actually, the IRS owes her money. “Just when we thought it was safe with the IRS, here they come again! This time their fault, not mine. Not taking this one laying down,” Sharon tweeted. “Mine was a f— up, yours was a ‘PROCEDURAL ERROR’. The bill has been paid, in fact I’m owed a rebate. Please send. Big Kiss, Mrs O.” Is it really a good idea to sign missives to government agencies with your last initial when you share it with the President?
When word of a $1.7 million bill for Sharon and husband Ozzy came out late last month, the TV regular confessed to skipping appointments with her accountant, saying she was “to blame” but also “too busy.” But it looks like TMZ’s report of another $350k still owed was too much for her to stomach. So far the IRS has yet to tweet back.
