Aretha Franklin owes $190,058 in state and federal taxes, records show.
The 66-year-old "Queen of Soul" narrowly lost one of her palaces earlier this year due to back property taxes. Her $714,000 mansion overlooking the Detroit Golf Club was weeks away from foreclosure in March and she also owed $1,200 in delinquent taxes on her $1.8 million Bloomfield Township home, records show.
What's owed:
* The IRS filed a $175,260 lien against Franklin on June 30 for unpaid income taxes, according to this lien. She owes the money from 2006, according to the IRS.
* The state of California filed a $14,798 tax lien against Franklin on May 30, 2007. The lien was filed in Sacramento County Court.
* The state filed a $33,406 state tax lien against Franklin on March 21 for unpaid income taxes. You can see that lien, by clicking here. The Tax Watchdog asked Franklin's spokeswoman about the tax debt on July 23. Two days later, the lien was released by the state, meaning Franklin no longer owes the money.
