Sharon Osbourne fires back at IRS following second tax lien

May 2, 2011

Heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne has got to feel like he's on a tax crazy train.

Last month the Internal Revenue Service placed a tax lien on Osbourne property because of unpaid tax bills: $718,948.25 for the 2008 tax year and $1,024,175.03 for 2009.

Ozzy's wife Sharon stepped up and straightened out the situation so the Prince of Darkness and family wouldn't lose their home to the tax man.

Now the IRS says the Osbournes owe another $357,070.62 in unpaid federal income for the 2007 tax year.

Not so, says Sharon.

She shot off a terse couple of responses to the IRS via her Twitter account.

The first one was defiant:

It was quickly followed by (link not redacted for language):

Sharon_osbourne_IRS-bill2_twitter2aa
No word yet from the IRS on Sharon's assessment of the situation, either via statement or on Twitter.

Tax Season 2026 Continues!

We made it. Tax Day 2025 is finally over. For most of us. When the filing season started on Jan. 26, millions who were expecting refunds filed immediately. Most of us got our returns to the Internal Revenue Service by April 15. But plenty of taxpayers also got extensions. They are looking at an Oct. 15 filing deadline.

Those procrastinating filers aren’t a problem. In fact, the IRS appreciates taxpayers who take time to fill out their 1040 forms correctly. It also is grateful that tax submissions are spread out a bit, especially now that the IRS is a leaner agency. Processing returns is easier when they arrive throughout the year instead of in massive bunches.

But enough about Uncle Sam’s tax collection issues. The focus now is on all y’all who filed for extensions, giving you another six months to complete your return. Since your new mid-October due date will be here before you know it, let’s get started now on meeting it.

The ol’ blog is here to help you finish up your extended Form 1040. You can start with January’s tax tips page, which has links to the rest of the year’s tips by-month collections. You also can peruse various tax categories for more tailored advice by clicking on the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of this (and every) page.

And to make sure you don’t miss your new filing deadline, the count-down clock below will let you know just how much time you to file by Oct. 15. At the latest.e. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
