Jersey Shore’s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino — who recently spent time behind bars for tax evasion — is allegedly on the hook for $2.3 million in unpaid taxes. The IRS slammed the reality star with a tax lien in April over the debts, and now he says he is “working diligently to comply with his current and past tax obligations,” which sounds like a good idea considering what has happened to this fellow star.

According to legal documents obtained by The Sun, the star’s monster tax bill to the IRS spans several years dating back to 2010 — around the time Jersey Shore was enjoying its heyday — up until 2016, except for 2014.

The IRS hit Sorrentino with a tax lien in April — something the publication says a New Jersey clerk has confirmed — over his $2.3 million debt.

“Michael Sorrentino has been working diligently to comply with his current and past tax obligations, and he will continue to do so,” the MTV star’s publicist, Robyn Bordes, told the mag.

In 2014, the 39-year-old was charged with tax fraud after he failed to pay taxes on $8.9 million. According to the US Attorney, the reality star and his brother established corporations that paid for personal expenses but failed to report income. Additional charges, including tax evasion, were levied against him and his brother in 2017.

Sorrentino eventually pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion as part of a plea deal. He had a brief stint in federal prison and was released in 2019.

Upon his release, he told Page Six: “We are elated to finally close this chapter of our life. Thank you to our family, friends, and fans for the continuous love and support during this time. It brought us so much peace and comfort. We look forward to continuing our life as husband and wife and working on baby situations!”

After his probation ended in 2021, he took to Twitter to celebrate the milestone: "Community service completed. I’m a free man. Probation is over!! The Comeback is always greater than the Setback.”

Sorrentino is only the latest in a string of reality stars who don’t appear to have a handle on their taxes. Earlier this month, Todd and Julie Chrisley — best known for their reality show Chrisley Knows Best — were found guilty of similar crimes and are facing 30 years in prison.
