Beyonce Dad Slapped With Tax Bill; Owes $1.2 Million To IRS[VIDEO]

Beyonce's dad is slapped with a tax bill. The IRS is coming after Matthew Knowles for $1.2 million in unpaid taxes. The government filed a lien against Knowles for the figure, which they say covers his income from earning years 2010 and 2011. 

The former Destiny's Child manager has to pay over $485,000 from 2010 and over $728,000 from 2011.

Knowles is the founder of Music World Entertainment under Columbia Records. It has released albums by Beyoncé, sister Solange Knowles, Sunshine Anderson and others.

Matthew Knowles made millions from the early 90s managing the career of Destiny's Child, one of the biggest girl groups of all time.  When they split in 2006, he continued to manage Beyoncé, who is one of the highest paid acts of her generation.

Beyonce fired her dad as manager in early 2011 after several months of ignoring him for cheating on and divorcing his wife of 31 years, Tina Knowles. His affair with "Scrubs" actress Alexsandra Wright surfaced shorty after the split.

It later came out during a lawsuit filed by Matthew that he was also accused of stealing money from Beyonce's concert revenues.

"I've only parted ways with my father on a business level. He is my father for life, and I love my dad dearly. I am grateful for everything he has taught me," she said.

Beyoncé has not commented on the reports about his tax debt.
