Posted on Jan 06, 2011 @ 12:37PM
Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband Ojani Noa are caught up in an IRS investigation that includes payments the 'Love Don't Cost A Thing' singer has been making to him, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Noa was questioned by IRS investigators on October 7, 2010 and under oath questioned specifically about a discrepancy concerning payments J.Lo made to him, according to Ed Meyer, who represents Noa.

"The IRS told Noa that the 1099 form JLo submitted to them was almost double what he put down that she paid him," Meyer told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
Meyer insists that Noa says he reported his income correctly.

The payments from J.Lo to Noa stem from a deal reached after he sued her for firing him as manager of her restaurant Madre in 2002.
"The IRS called Ojani and asked for documents about how J.Lo paid him for the Madre deal," Meyer told RadarOnlne.com.

"They wanted a copy of the Madre settlement agreement and any information about Jennifer sending him a 1099."
Lopez and Noah settled his lawsuit against with a document signed on October 12, 2005 and that's the document the IRS wanted, RadarOnline.com learned.

The 1099 form is used for many reasons but generally shows income received.
Noa told the IRS investigators that he never received a 1099 form from Lopez, Meyer told RadarOnline.com. He also said that Noa simply reported the amount of money he received from JLo and there was no confusion on his part because that was his only income for the year.
Asked if it was possible that Noa underreported his income from J.Lo, rather than JLo over reporting what she paid him, Meyer told RadarOnline.com that Noa denies that.

"He reported his income accurately," Meyer told RadarOnline.com. "Any discrepancy is not from him."
RadarOnline.com reported exclusively last week that JLo's husband Marc Anthony had $3.4 million in unpaid tax bills.
Within days of our report, his people reported that he had now cleared the debt.

Lopez is reaching yet another career milestone as she is set to debut as a regular judge on the post-Simon-Cowell American Idol.
The beautiful actress/singer has earned a fortune during her career but has been locked in litigation with Noa for years.

Most of that litigation has surrounded home video that Noa took and wanted to make public. A court decision has barred him from doing that.
A request by RadarOnline.com for comment from one of J.Lo's representatives was not answered.

Completely fraudulent headline. It should read "Jennifer Lopez' Ex-Husband Caught Up In IRS Investigation." Who writes this deceptive crap?

"He also said that ... was his only income for the year." His ONLY income for the year? Does this lazy piece of trash not have a job? What does he do when he gets out of bed in the morning? Start drinking? Watch cartoons?

Another loser who thinks she's above the law.

Geez, JLo is as rich as rich can be and she's trying to sccrew the government out of pay taxes? I'm not a big fan of the IRS but come on! She's not special, she needs to pay taxes just like everyone else so we have $$ for projects in America.

Rich and cheap. Cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap. Both she and her husband both tried to mess with the IRS. Really gross of them.

Hey Jennifer Lopez, ... Income taxes are a scam. Search tax law for "excluded income"
ECFR dot GPOACCESS dot GOV
(title 26)
Or, just GOOGLE: excluded income - Make the government obey the law.

Sorry, but although I'm not a fan of income tax, I also do realize that we need a means of paying for roads, schools, care for the elderly.

Roads are paid for with gas tax. NOT INCOME TAX.
Schools are paid for with property tax. NOT INCOME TAX.
Elderly pay for themselves with social security tax. NOT INCOME TAX.
Income tax is a government scam

JLo had no reason to report a higher amount. Noa is lying. He's just an ex-husband and it's unfortunate JLo can't get rid of him. He'd be homeless if he couldn't suck money from her. She needs to get rid of this leech.

Yeah, after reading farther along, I have to agree. I was wrong. JLo's his only means of income, he has no 1090 form to prove his claims...I agree, sounds like he's the one who's fudging here.
