Terrence Howard Ordered to Pay $1 Million in Tax Evasion Case

The actor faces a hefty penalty for failing to pay income taxes from 2010 to 2019, citing the immorality of taxing descendants of slaves.

Terrence Howard has been ordered to pay nearly $1 million in back taxes, interest, and penalties following a federal judge's ruling.
The judgment against Howard comes after the Justice Department sued him for failing to pay $578,000 in income taxes from 2010 to 2019.
Howard's response to the lawsuit included a voicemail claiming it's 'immoral for the United States government to charge taxes to the descendants of slaves.'
This is not Howard's first legal issue with taxes; he has faced multiple tax liens and penalties in the past.
Howard, known for his roles in 'Empire' and 'Iron Man,' has also been involved in other legal controversies over the years.
