The government told him he had to pay $650,000 a month, every month, for 4 years. Miss ONE payment, and you go to JAIL. He never would’ve known if his accountant hadn’t died. A woman cleaning out the office called his lawyer with a serious problem. STEVE HARVEY: “She had found on the floor all my tax forms for seven years signed and with the checks stapled to it.” “Well, they were cashing the checks, keeping the money and not turning in the tax forms.” Seven years of bank statements that looked like a man paying his taxes. “My lawyer called me, said, ‘Hey, man, we got a problem. You haven’t paid taxes in seven years.’”
“He said, ‘Man, that’s tax evasion. You can go to prison.’” “I ended up owing 22 million. 22 million with the penalties.” When he told his wife, Marjorie, she cried for two straight days. “She says, ‘What you going to do?’ I said, ‘I’m going to go to work.’” And he did. “I took every comedy gig in this country, signed every contract. I went to work, man. I worked every single Friday, Saturday and Sunday.” “I never missed a payment.” He did that for four years. $650,000 a month, every month. In 2012, he sold 49% of his radio company and used the check to pay the government off to zero. “And that was the first time, man, I could breathe.” The thieves were his accountants. The $22,000,000 bill went to Steve Harvey. And the only one who got threatened with prison was the man who got robbed.
Steve Harvey reveals he woke up owing the IRS $22,000,000 because his accountants spent SEVEN YEARS pocketing his tax checks and never filing a single return.
