First it was Lauryn Hill, then it was Mary J., and now unfortunately, it is hit-producer/the father of Chilli’s son, Dallas Austin who is being slapped with some major tax paying drama this year. In case you need a reminder of who Dallas is, he’s produced many multiplatinum selling hits for artists such as TLC, Michael Jackson, Monica, Grace Jones, After 7, Boyz II Men, Madonna, Duran Duran, Kanye West, and the list goes on and on.
According to Bossip, Dallas now has been hit with a major tax lien by the IRS for a boatload of money- $422,000 to be exact. Here is what they reported:
Music producer Dallas Austin is still making bank when it comes to his career – this based off the lien filed by the IRS – which is demanding he pay up on $422,000 in back taxes, Bossip has learned. The Internal Revenue Services filed a Federal Tax Lien against Austin on September 2nd in Georgia. According to the lien, the feds accuse the producer of refusing to pay $422,655.33 in taxes for 2014….if he doesn’t pay up quick, they will begin the seizing his property and assets to collect on their debt.
It’s just like B.I.G. once said, the more money you make, the more problems you have”…real talk.
Dallas Austin might wanna follow that Old School saying that an unknown wise person once created: ‘There are only two things I fear in life- God and the IRS.’
On a brighter note, Dallas does have at least one factor in his life to smile about right now and that’s the son he has with Chilli, Tron Austin. Tron graduated from high school in 2015 and is now 19 years old and coming into his own.
Tron was also his father’s motivation for demanding that Chilli have VH-1 edit out footage from their 2013 TV-biopic, “CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story,” pertaining to the time when Dallas paid for Chilli’s $300 abortion when she’d gotten pregnant by him at the beginning of TLC’s career.
In a 2015 court deposition for the pending $40 million defamation lawsuit TLC’s former manager, Pebbles, has against Viacom and VH-1, Chilli revealed that Dallas didn’t want the abortion, although true, to be covered in the movie for concern over what their son, Tron, may think about it. Chilli agreed with Dallas on that, but she also reportedly stated that if Dallas would have asked him to take out the parts regarding his cheating during their relationship, she would have denied him on that.
All in all, it seems as though Chilli has a cool co-parenting relationship with Dallas now and Tron has a good relationship with both of his parents. Like Chilli said when her son went to his prom lat year, “Time sure does fly.”
And we hope that Dallas can get his tax problems to fly away soon too because the IRS is NO joke! Wishing him the best with that.
