Keyshia Cole owes IRS $162K, singer receives a tax lien; will the singer face jail time along with 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Jacqueline Laurita?

MStars has learned that singer, Keyshia Cole owes the IRS a huge amount of money.  According to Radar Online, Keyshia owes a total of $162,158.93!

Uncle Sam filed a lien in Georgia against "Let It Go" singer, claiming that she failed to pay taxes in 2009. The lien documents were filed on November 25, and feds claim the singer owes big.

The IRS claims the singer, 32 made a lot in 2009 when she went on Tour. Her first headlining tour, A Different Me Tour, featured opening acts like TLC, Lil Kim, and The Dream. 

The statement reads:

"We have made a demand for payment of this liability, but it remains unpaid. "Therefore, there is a lien in favor of the United States on all Uncle Sam property and rights to property belonging to this taxpayer for the amount of the taxes and additional penalties, interest and costs that may accrue."

We hope Keyshia takes care of this very soon and doesn't find herself behind bars like many stars including, R&B singer, Lauryn Hill who served three months in prison for not paying federal taxes on the $1.8 million between 2005 and 2007. 

Real Housewives of New Jersey star, Jacqueline Laurita is also in the hot water with the IRS. She received a $338,337 lien in early 2013, and could be facing home foreclosure she also started the new year, with yet another pending request from the IRS for $85,127 in unpaid taxes.
