Melissa Gilbert Failed To Pay More Than $360,000 In Federal Income Taxes

The Internal Revenue Service says former “Little House on the Prairie” star Melissa Gilbert failed to pay more than $360,000 in federal income taxes.

The Detroit News reports the IRS filed a tax lien against the actress in February and details emerged after she recently announced that her family was moving from a rented home to another area home.

Gilbert blames the 2011-2013 tax debt on a stalled acting career, the economy and divorce. In a statement to the newspaper, she says that “like so many people across the nation, the recession hit me hard” and there was a “perfect storm of financial difficulty for me.”
