Johnny Depp Racked Up $6 Million in IRS Penalties and Interest, Court Docs Say

According to the documents, Depp’s former managers were responsible for “egregious deficiencies in making Mr. Depp’s tax payments,” costing the actor a bundle.

In the documents, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Feb. 15, tax attorney Miriam L. Fisher — whose firm was retained by Depp to help sort out delinquencies in his 2014 tax bill — says that, while dealing with Depp’s tax issue, the IRS told her that Depp’s accounts “reflected a history of untimely compliance with his federal tax payment obligations.”

In January, Depp slapped The Mandel Company, dba The Management Group, with a $25 million-plus lawsuit, alleging that Depp “lost tens of millions of dollars and has been forced to dispose of significant assets to pay for TMG’s self-dealing and gross misconduct.”

The Management Group’s attorney, Michael J Kump, called Depp’s lawsuit a “complete fabrication,” and shortly thereafter, The Management Group filed a counter-suit accusing Depp of living “an ultra-extravagant lifestyle” that he “simply could not afford.”
