Yolanda Adams’ IRS Issues
Posted by Bossip Staff
Yolanda Adams has her IRS game on Wesley Snipes status:
Houston gospel singer and radio host Yolanda Adams is under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service. The agency has asked a federal judge to force the entertainer to turn over documents after she failed to show up for an appointment last month to explain her financial affairs. The agency is trying to determine her tax liability and how to collect on the debt. According to filings in Houston federal court, the IRS probe stems from two million-dollar mortgage loan applications. A 2005 Ocwen application said Adams earned $40,000 a month and listed $8 million in assets — including an $800,000 trust account, $4.9 million in other personal holdings and jewelry worth $1.5 million. That document said she owned a Lexus and a Hummer. A subsequent Chase home loan application listed $3 million in assets, including a business worth $1.5 million, a Mercedes-Benz and a Range Rover. She owns a home worth more than $2 million in Houston’s Royal Oaks Country Club subdivision.
The federal government has asked a judge to order Adams to appear with “records, papers or documents” or explain why she should not be forced to comply with the summons. They believe that somebody has either overreported deductions or underreported income. The IRS is not an agency that is easy to avoid. Generally, if they want information, you’re going to have to give it to them.”
She better not play with the IRS, they are serious about getting their paper.

1ST *****ESSSSSSSSS!!!
Hey someone get Willie Nelson and Hammer on the phone and channel Sammy Davis Jr. and Redd Foxx to talk to this woman.
LOL AT THIS FAKE GOSPEL W***** EVADING PAYING TAXES. ALL THAT GOD TALK IS BULL***** FOR THESE GOSPEL PEOPLE. THEY JUST WANT THE MONEY.
Now I know she’s going to get her an R&B album out soon because she gotta make some money to pay those bills. She’s such an opportunist.
WOW!!!
Everyone plays with their money thinking they can’t get caught
FED GOV doesn’t care if you are famous or not….you will give them their pay!!
DAAAYYUMMM, feeling her pain. Just started doing work on taxes this year and the IRS does NOT play!! The IRS WILL get they money! And they usually get theirs FIRST!
WOW. so sexy girl,does she still play on the tall dating site ~~~ Tallmingle.com ~~~ ???The last time I saw her profile is
last mondy, hope she does not leave.
~~~~~~Selina1987,as a model playing that site,hope to know you.
When it comes down to it we are all human. Just because you sing about your faith doesnt mean you follow all man made rules. It doesnt make her a bad person or a hypocrit, just another civilian trying to get over. I’ve never heard her sing a gopsel song about paying taxes or false finances.
Sorry choir I spell your name wrong in my last post. forgive me.
Mo’ money, mo’ problems.
YA is obviously a smart woman, but going MIA from an IRS meeting was like pourin’ gas on the fire. She’d better squad up her chips now…
don’t play with the IRS…
in the immortal words of Ike Turner:
“F$#k up today, you’ll be frying fish tomorrow.”
what is it with the Gospel Community and Taxes? all the money the congregation gives up to you and you still hesitate to pay taxes?..come one
on*
She is married to a retired professional athlete. Which would explain a large portion of her wealth. I’m shocked that this article doesn’t even mention her husband. Always a spin huh? Her wealth is not in any way unusual for the spouse of a professional athlete.
Ok. So she told the bank that she had more money than what she did to get some house.
HOW ABOUT THE IRS GO AFTER HILLIARY CLINTON! NOW SHE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE.
Do you really think these people do their own taxes with that much money.. Her accountants made some mistakes that will be corrected after they they will be fired. She will beat the case like everyone else. What would she look like doing her own taxes on some damn turbo tax software or something lol
@ irritated by haters
Arent’ they divorced? She’s divorced from her daughter’s father the athlete.
Anyways, Yolanda’s been a servant; she’s been singing about the good news for a while now. That doesn’t mean she’s perfect or foolproof from making mistakes or having problems in her life.
Most of the time artists are not all that savvy about their business and they trust in other people who then let them down or don’t do their job and that’s how they get in trouble.
This probably all started from some crooked help..let’s give Yolanda the benefit of the doubt and pray for her and her daughter also. Have IRS problems is NO JOKE..just ask Ron Isley
@ Cher…
“HOW ABOUT THE IRS GO AFTER HILLIARY CLINTON! NOW SHE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE.”
Cause those shady a*s politicians know how to hide their money. It’s not that you hafta pay a grip in taxes if you got bank, it’s all about knowing how to minimize your money on paper! Trust, there is ways!
the irs better stay off of God’s people
Wow, I didn’t know she lived in Royal Oaks. I suppose that’s the hot spot for Houston celebs.
Also, Obama should be more concerned about the Tony Rezko trial than Hillary’s finances. We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg on that.
@jojo..you are so retarded!!LOL
Yo-yo better get it together before the IRS comes and digs in her *****!
She’s gonna be leading the San Quintin Gospel Choir if she don’t stop playing. IRS is no joke. Why niccas gotta be greedy and try to get over? If you aren’t ridin’ dirty, you won’t have to keep looking over your shoulder.
I absolutely love Yolanda Adams so I hope it works out for her!!
You can’t run or hide from the taxman..suckas! LOL
Oh please, its just not Gospel people who cheat. Remember Tammy Faye Bakker and her husband? Most ministers are liars and cheats. The government lets them live tax free so they can continue to spread lies to the m*****es.
“HOW ABOUT THE IRS GO AFTER HILLIARY CLINTON! NOW SHE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE.”
the bottom line is most self employed black folk avoid taxes, ask yo homeboyy Ronald Isley, Jessie Jackson, and Jermain Dupree!!!
they just made an exapple out of wesley casue the IRS KNEW he could have paid his tax debt but choose to blame his accountant….
Don’t worry when Tony Rezko hit the witness stand this summer, Barack will be finished…casue he aint paid no taxes either…but I’m sure Oprah will let him hold a hot million….
Say it ain’t so… Please pray for this Sista, I listen to her every morning!!! Lawd have mercy!
The gott damn IRS…GO AWAY!!!
Yolanda is ballin! too bad she forgot to give the fed’s their cut, not a good move.
Yolanda was living like one of those shady preachers.
lets just hope that this is just a misunderstanding. i have personally never bought a cd from her but i think that her message is uplifting. hopefully this will end up in good hands and that she beats this the right way and that all is continued to be good!!!
OH MY! I HOPE SHE CAN CLARIFY THE SITUATION. IMA KEEP QUITE UNTIL THE TRUTH PREVAILS. GOOD LUCK MA’AM!
Luv me some Yolanda. i really hope she survives this.
I hope she survives this too. And i hope this is just a misunderstanding.
I like her, and the fact she does gospel.
For those people who are judging and condemning her because she sings gospel, please…gimme a break. I don’t care how much gospel she sings, and how much God she knows, she still has one thing in common with you and I: she’s still human so please…gimme a break! SHE’S NOT PERFECT, she’s still a person. I know Yolanda won’t let this one downfall mess up her entire life, with all the money she’s earned throughout her career, I’m pretty sure she’ll hire the right people she needs to help her to get it together. We love Yolanda!
@da darkness
The Bible tells us to “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” (Matthew 22:21). God’s people live in the world and we have to follow the laws that are in place just like everyone else, or pay the consequences. Being a Christian is not a tax break.
Cher
Ok. So she told the bank that she had more money than what she did to get some house.
***ITA Cher***
All Yolanda Adams did was try to get a nice home. I am sure that because of her status she probably bought a house big enough for her family and to accomodate her celebrity status which is understandable. $2million on a new home in an exclusive area is about what it takes these days.
Ms. Adams “inflated” her *****ets which probably included a lot of secured and unsecured. I’m betting the vehicles are unpaid for or barely paid in full. The cash she listed could’ve been “float money” just to prove she had *****ets to back up a $2million loan.
The US Govt and IRS ***** me off always messing with the little folk. Damn Shame since 99% of the IRS executives and the FDIC, FEderal REserve, US Senate, Congress, and Telecom/Utilities conglomerates have run this country into a financial hell with their crooked *****s.
This sites confirms The mother of all races Eve was ( A Black Woman) as for Adam he may have been White because Black genes were dominant and White genes were recessive and that a recessive cannot produce a dominant.But Eve a (Black) mother of all races………………………… thats why we have different shades of races today…………………………………….because a white woman has Recessive Genes cant’ produce darker races and the black woman has the Dominant Genes that means the blacks have the strongest genes of all races…………. she can produce all skin tones………………Dominant
im so proud to know the truth!!! we are the domiant geans black women god made us the first ones this is why black women have way more body extoic faces more skin tones then any body. adam was white. read it will tell you about black eve.
imrightdammit
She’s gonna be leading the San Quintin Gospel Choir if she don’t stop playing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOL!!!
SMH .. as Christians we ought to be immune to all these materialistic possessions!
nique said..
Being a Christian is not a tax break.
***********************
but being Jewish is!
pm- Some people really think that celebs do their own taxes. Looks like she may have had bad accountants. I am sure she will get it straight. You guys have hate for Christians but love for thugs.
BLACK WOMEN ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN produce SKIN TONES! BLACK WOMEN ARE Dominant Genes. WHITE WOMEN CANT PRODUCE SKIN TONE COLORS LIKE WE CAN.

i love the irs [sarcasm here] they don’t care if you owe them $4.00 or $4,000,000 they come after EVERYONE!!!
All this “she’s just human…man made laws” that str8 bullsh*t excuse for not being responsible. SOB’s that molest children are human, that don’t excuse the fact that they need their *****es kicked, strung up and punished.
A lot of “so-called negro christians in America”,got it twisted. This was greed.
Damn Yogi!
They comin’ at you hard! I hope you get your sh*t in order girl!
Dammit, I say—
Dammit!
This to shall P*****
i`m not surprised i have always said everytime you see a black person taking religion overboard, you have to look at him with suspicion, here is another proof
those who say she`s human are just as stupid as she is
the irs is a *****f*ckin’ mob. to all those fake azz gangstaz out there yall ain’t nothin’ compared to the government.. them *****f*ckaz will leave you azz naked, they don’t give 2 f*ckz as long as they have their money.
I think Yolanda (like many others in the industry) got caught up. She’s been around long before “The Battle is the Lord’s” yet people thought that she just stepped into the game.
All of a sudden, the money’s comin’ at her—HARD! I think if she’d get some people involved in her finances that really have her best interests at heart then set up something with the IRS, she’ll be OK. It’s not too late!
How many of us has gotten ” a small windfall” and lost our minds? I know I have–time and again. One good thing about common sense and intermingling material things is that–prayerfully we take care of our bidness first then let everything else fall into place. What’s the sense in me driving a Benz when I can’t afford the upkeep? Had to really think about that before I made the conscious decision to purchase one. That especially goes for the IRS and taxes ’cause Lord knows, Uncles Sam’s gonna get his cut!
Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ shawn: ***** shut yo ***** ***** up!!! i’m saying SHE’S HUMAN!!! I want you to tell me one time you ain’t done nothing imperfect? So basically you’re telling me you are perfect all day long? Anyone who really watches Yolanda Adams knows she doesn’t walk around condemning folks about what they do she just claims to love and have a relationship with God but that doesn’t mean she she’s perfect. I’m not really in church but I look up to her and I don’t condemn her for something as insignificant and as small as this….she’s a woman and human like I said just like you are…just like tha Bible says “JUDGE NOT LEST YOU BE JUDGED.” So back up *****! Fall back and bleed….
Lol @ all the folks calling her out because of what she does.
She sings, dammit! I can’t ever recall the sista ever askin’ anyone to give her money. The only difference between her and Alicia Keys is their style of music yet mu*****kas is acting like she owe them rent! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can think of far more people who solicit money from poor unsuspecting souls yet you wanna throw salt at Yogi!
Creflo Dollar <—-the name says it all.
Tammy Dollar <——his sidekick!
Rev. Ike <—-damn near ’caused my Grandmother a 2nd mortgage with them red prayer cloths! Lol!!!!
PLUS—- All the churches nowadays that sell their CD’s, books and sh*t at the end of the service!
PULLEEEEZE!!!! You guys need more people! Lol!!!
@steeloz: The same thing goes to you son of a *****! Get yo mind right! Quit judging folks before you get judged! Greed or no greed *****, she’s still human and so are you…at least i hope so!
@ GD–
Let ‘em have it! Lol!!!!!
You reppin’ my girl!!!!!!!!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ 1 TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals!

ON THE REAL
I AM CURRENTLY PAYING THE IRS THEY HIT ME PAYCHECK EVERY 2 WEEKS. THEY DONT PLAY BUT WE AS BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT THERE IS NO RHYME WITHOUT REASON. THE IRS IS COMING AFTER PEOPLE SO HARD NOW BECAUSE OF THE MONEY THAT HAS BEEN USED TO FUND BUSHES RETIREMENT WAR THAT MF GOT SO PAID OFF THIS WAR
NOW THE GOV NEEDS DOUGH TO PAY FOR THIS ***** SO THEY ARE NOW GOING AFTER ANYONE
@ GD–
You ain;t never lied! I clown some folks but people like Yolanda isn’t one of them. I’ve had the opportunity perform with her on several occ*****ions and I have nothing but love for the sista! She’s down-to-earth, not pretentuous and some of the other negative things that perfomers seem to gravitate to once the fame hits ‘em. Lol!!!
I say–Keep ya head up Yogi! It’ll work out!
I like her. Many celebrities also think she is talented. I learned her blog is very hot at “wealthydater. com”. It’s a dating site for celebrities and wealthy people.
You reap what you sow.
^^^^^^^^^Huh?
So I guess she reaping what’s possibly a bad business decision?
Oh. OK. That explains it! I guess I’ll “reap what I sow” by continuing to give my African American brothas and sistas the chance to advance in the business world. I guess I’ll “reap what I sow when I see that one of ‘em is really not cut out for this yet continue to hold on to them ’cause they need a job–hoping for the best.
Yup! Teach ‘em all the ends and outs but clutch my Longchamp close to my chest!
Yeah, Yolanda! You’re reaping what you sow. Sorry ’bout those bad business decision by trusting someone with your money and all the other sh*t people don’t even know about you while steady throwin’ shade!
SMH @ ignorance at it’s finest!
“You reap what you sow”

LOL AT THIS FAKE GOSPEL W***** EVADING PAYING TAXES. ALL THAT GOD TALK IS BULL***** FOR THESE GOSPEL PEOPLE. THEY JUST WANT THE MONEY.
^^^^^
Wow, I guess Gospel artists are suppose to be broke and struggling and not experiencing wealth like rap stars?!
imrightdammit
She’s gonna be leading the San Quintin Gospel Choir if she don’t stop playing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOL. This is an example as to why you have to know what your money is doing. “Make the money, don’t let the money make you.” — Diamond
Gospel singers should definitely be making money like rappers, but they should be spending it like rappers. The should be living in a smart manner and handling their business in an HONEST, professional way.
I guess everybody was made to be perfect. We as people are so judgmental as if we have never failed in our life before. I hope the ones on here that are talking negative never fall! But I forgot if you do fall Bossip want post it because yall are not that important!
Is everyone crooks these days pay your taxes so you wont have these problems
I can totally see her having the stack she listed on the mortgage application. What does Yolanda charge per concert appearance? $8000 to $10,000? I think more. If she only has 4 or 5 appearances a month thats $40 g’s per month right there and we all know she does more than 5 shows per month. Then there’s cd sales, Royalties, and she has a syndicated marning radio talk show.
So I don’t think she overstated her *****ets on the mortgage application at all but I do pray that they can come up with a settlement that will allow her to keep most of her stacks.
Pls excuse the spelling… its early.
She is so sexy .I saw her profile in millonaire dating site” WealthyLoving.com”.I saw she is always dating a man in this site.She said she fall in heavily ill.Is that true?Is she really has his baby?

Fake Christian *****!
The bible says it’s easier for a camel to p***** through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get into heaven. these fake gospel people kill me!
Dawg I thought somebody was fighting and yall on here having Bible study!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
lol, aint that the truth…
only god can judge me.
what a joke! someone just her pictures to hot ones and then uploaded to the rich men seeking affairs club sugarcupid.com.. you know it is a rich men seeking sugar babies site.. so it says she is looking for a s*gar daddy! lol
@Lucy
Do you KNOW Yolanda Adams? So how can you dare call her fake? Have you sat down and had a conversation with her? Now, I don’t honestly have an opinion either way, but it seems a lot of people are pretty harsh towards somebody you have NEVER MET!!! She MAY or may NOT have done something she had no business doing, but (a) who are you to judge her and (b) how can you say her sins are worse than yours?
Are you a virgin who has never cursed? Never gossipsed (obviously you fail right there because you’re here on a GOSSIP website), how about never lied????
@My Business
SO TRUE…..
“BUT I FORGOT IF YOU DO FALL BOSSIP WONT POST IT BECAUSE YA’LL ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT!”
*GOSSIPED
All she has to do is sell the 1.5 Million dollars worth of jewelry & pay them.
I don’t feel sorry for her. She is, or was living like the sick prosperity pimping preachers. I mean, how in the world can you have One and a half MILLION DOLLARS in jewelry. That’s greed.
