IRS papers say Zsa Zsa Gabor has $118,321 tax bill

Los Angeles: Zsa Zsa Gabor`s lawyer blames convicted swindler Bernard Madoff for a hefty tax bill owed by his client.According to documents obtained by the reporters on Friday, the Internal Revenue Service filed a lien of more than $118,000 for the years 2001 and 2002 against the 92-year-old actress on Oct. 5 in the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds.

Gabor lawyer Chris Fields estimates that Gabor lost about $7 million in Madoff`s Ponzi scheme and the tax bill is part of the fallout. Fields says third-party money managers invested Gabor`s money with Madoff. Fields says Gabor and husband Frederic von Anhalt are pulling together their resources and working out a payment plan with the IRS. Bureau Report
