Ruben Studdard - Owes IRS $200,000 In Back Taxes - American Idol



Big Rube just got married and so maybe his bills are already piling up. But that doesn’t mean you forego paying Uncle Sam. Unc gets kinda mad when you forget to do that.

LA Times Says:
Apparently "American Idol" winner Ruben Studdard doesn't feel like he needs to pay his taxes. And the IRS is not happy.
He owes more than $193,000 in state and federal taxes. Much of it was due for 2003 -- the year he won "Idol" and signed a $1-million contract. He was also awarded $2 million a couple of years ago after he sued his former business manager for misappropriated funds.
