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):

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

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
