{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}According to IRS documents, actor Chris Tucker owes more than $11M in back taxes.
Chris Tucker's ongoing tax problems have reached Nicolas Cage proportions. According to new documents, the "Rush Hour" star now owes the IRS more than $11 million in back taxes.
The Internal Revenue Service filed documents with the L.A. County Recorder's Office yesterday, which show Tucker owes $11,571,909.26 in federal taxes for the years 2001, 2002 and 2004 through 2006.
Here's how it all breaks down:

2002 -- $5,060,074.23
2004 -- $55,544.84
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}2005 -- $660,414.94
2006 -- $1,788,080.91
But this isn't Tucker's first issue with taxes. As TMZ previously reported, the State of California filed a lien against Tucker for allegedly not paying $3,594,409 in state taxes over the same time span.

So far, no word from Chris' people on the tax situation.
