Brian McKnight claims his accountant was so fraudulent, so deceptive that he ended up secretly getting a United States congressman to help cover up his actions.
McKnight has filed a lawsuit against Vernon Brown and Company, claiming Brown ruined his life by not paying any of Brian's taxes for close to a decade.
McKnight now not only owes more than a million dollars in back taxes, but more than $500,000 in penalties and interest.
In the lawsuit he claims Brown knew he screwed up and secretly contacted Congressman Henry Waxman and gave him a false story that got Waxman to contact the IRS and get McKnight back on an instalment plan.
McKnight says Brown was so bad he messed up the instalment plan and the taxes were never paid.
McKnight says his credit is now bad, his house has a lien, his music royalties have been frozen and his life is in shambles.
Not only that, McKnight says his driver's license has been suspended for failing to pay back taxes, and because his son shares the same name HIS license was suspended as well.
McKnight says he landed on California's Top 500 Delinquent Taxpayers.
