Lauryn
Hill pleaded guilty last year to failing to pay taxes on more than $1.8 million
earned from 2005 to 2007. The Grammy-winning singer stood in federal court
Monday for sentencing. Monday's sentencing took into account unpaid state and
federal taxes in 2008 and 2009 that brought Hill’s total earnings to about $2.3
million.
Despite
having paid more than $900,000 in the past several days, Hill still owes
interest and penalties, the U.S. attorney's office said. U.S. Magistrate
Madeline Cox Arleo sentenced her to three months in prison for failing to pay
about $1 million in taxes over the past decade.
