California Says Angelina Jolie’s Mom Owed Back Taxes
Last week the state of California filed a tax claim against Marcheline Bertrand’s estate. According to TMZ, the deficit ridden state claims Angelina’s mom owed “$43,699 in back taxes — add on $10,924.75 in penalties and $$8,304.95 in interest, for a grand total of $62,928.70.”
Marcheline Bertrand passed away in January 2007 after a long battle with ovarian cancer. Angelina and brother James Haven split their mother’s $1.2 million dollar estate between them. Marcheline also left Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh,her only grandchildren at the time of her death, $100,000 each. In a hand written attachment to her will, she claimed that ex-husband Jon Voight still owed her $180,000 in spousal support. (If Jon Voight does owe the money it would more than cover Marcheline’s back taxes.)
Considering California’s budget crisis, I’m sure lots of estates will receive back tax notices. I’m not saying that the claims aren’t legitimate but when you are in a money crunch you really look at your books to find any extra cash. I’m sure lots of speeders have been summoned to court as well. I wonder if Angelina and James will really look into the claim or just pay the money.
