APRIL 15th! Yes, it's federal income tax filing deadline day. Many of us have already filed and received a refund, but to those of you who owe Uncle Sam and have procrastinated with filing, this post is just for you.

Singer Dionne Warwick owes $2.7 million in state taxes, according to the California Franchise Tax Board. The IRS has placed more than $1 million in tax liens against her for unpaid federal taxes. Public records show that her tax troubles started in 1990 or earlier.
