Tax Trouble: 32 Celebrities Who've Tangled With the IRS

John Travolta

The star of Pulp Fiction agreed to pay $607,400 in back taxes in 2000 to settle a dispute with the taxman stemming from an issue five years prior. Travolta had claimed $2.27 million in unspecified losses from 1993 to 1995 for a company called ATLO Inc, but the IRS found these losses were improper. ATLO is a so-called S-corporation, which is a pass-through business that doctors, lawyers, freelancers, consultants, and creative artists use to structure business earnings.
