New Jersey filed a tax lien against the singer June 30, and it says she owes $438,221 in back taxes, according to documents obtained by Bossip.

This isn’t Hill’s first tax problem. In 2013 she was sentenced to three months in prison for tax evasion over a $900,000 bill owed to the federal government.

Looks like Hill needs to get on the road or in the studio and stack her paper to pay back this lien.
