Val Kilmer Hit with IRS Lien for Back Taxes

SANTA FE, N.M. — Actor Val Kilmer owes the federal tax man nearly $500,000 and a lien has been placed on his property, including a New Mexico ranch he's trying to sell.

The Internal Revenue Service filed the lien last month in Santa Fe for an assessment balance of $498,165 for 2008 income taxes.

Kilmer has lived in New Mexico for two decades and his 5,300-acre Pecos River Ranch is listed for sale at $18.5 million, which is down from $23 million in October. The ranch went on the market for $33 million in 2009.

Kilmer and his agent did respond to telephone calls and e-mail on Thursday seeking comment.

Kilmer has starred in movies including "Top Gun" and "Batman Forever."

The Empire is running on empty. Val Kilmer will out live it.

Old Val needs to lose some weight and pick up some better movies. I don't see how he could owe $500,000 in taxes when no one has seen him in a movie for years. Perhaps he put jelly on the money he did make and ate it all.
