"Little House on the Prairie" actress Melissa Gilbert owes USD 360,000 in unpaid taxes to the IRS.
According to an IRS Tax Lien filed against Gilbert, 21, on January 22, the Register of Deeds in Livingston County claims the actress has unpaid taxes over the course of the past three years.
She owes USD 219,989.09 for the 2011 tax period, USD 99,404.94 for 2012 and USD 41,156.69 for 2013, bringing a total of USD 360,550.72, reported Aceshowbiz.
"Like so many people across the nation, the recession hit me hard. That, plus a divorce and a dearth of acting opportunities the last few years, created a perfect storm of financial difficulty for me.
"I've set up an installment plan to fully pay off my debt and will continue to work as hard as I can to erase this debt and dig myself out of this hole. I am absolutely positive that I can do it," the actress said in statement through her representative.
Gilbert, who lives in Howell, Michigan with her husband Timothy Busfield and their two sons, shared on Twitter earlier this month that they would soon be on the move, but they plan to still reside in the state.
"It's official. We are moving. In a couple of weeks. Into our own Little House in the Big Woods. I'm serious.
