Actor/comedian Chris Tucker has somehow gotten himself into a huge problem with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

TMZ is reporting that he owes an astonishing $11 million dollars in back taxes.

The star, who broke onto the national radar with his role as "Smokey" in the Ice Cube penned comedy 'Friday' has been very selective in his movie roles of late. He's only appeared in the two 'Rush Hour' sequels since 2001, but he earned a total of $45 million dollars from them.

According to the TMZ report, Tucker failed to pay his taxes in 2001, 2002 and 2004 through 2006.

Here's the breakdown of what he owes.

2001 -- $4,007,794.34
2002 -- $5,060,074.23
2004 -- $55,544.84
2005 -- $660,414.94
2006 -- $1,788,080.91

It just makes you wonder what he or his accountants were thinking. No matter what, you can't hide from Uncle Sam. We all know Wesley Snipes is serving a couple of years behind bars for this same kind of tax mess.
