Former basketball star Dennis Rodman is facing a $400,000 (GBP200,000) bill after allegedly failing to pay his taxes.
The star has been served a notice of unpaid tax liens which purports to show that he owes a considerable amount of money to America's Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
However, Rodman's representatives have insisted the tax bill is the result of a misunderstanding with the star's former business manager.
They claim that when the accountants have finished, Rodman will be left with "a very small balance" which he will then pay, according to TMZ.com.
