In a statement, Carter's manager Johnny Wright tells Entertainment Tonight: "It is unfortunate that while Aaron was a minor, his finances were grossly mismanaged by his previous team which has lead to the current situation of which he was unaware of until today. Aaron is working with a new team to take appropriate actions towards speedy resolution of the matter and looks forward to putting this behind him and moving forward with the next stage of his music career."

10i feel so sorry about aaron c
thats not so good..he stilll is young but maybe this might mean that he'll have to start singing again? maybe make some money?!
The sad part is he isn't to blame because he was still a minor in 2003 and who when they are 15/17/18 years old understands how much tax needs to be given/paid and so on. He had a tough up bringing having parents who took his money and were drug/alcohol/physical abusers. Even his siblings are a waste of space. I hope he gets this solved quick, because this isn't his fault and for some celebs its not. They hire people (accountants) who don't do their jobs correctly. It can happen to anyone, not just celebs.
2003, aaron was just a minor. too bad he had crappy management, who took advantage of him. hope he gets it straightened out soon.
I don't understand why people who make millions of dollars can't/won't pay their taxes. Give me that money and the first stop I make is to the IRS. These people need to stop blaming others for their troubles. Take some personal responsibility.
How do they not catch tax problems for over 5 years?? Pay up!!
moving forward with his music career?? what music career? he hasnt had a song out in about 8 years!!
Yikes, hope this all gets settled real soon?
it's sad that magazines only want to report the negative things about people.
can't Hollywood just pay their taxes like the rest of us? geez its all we hear about. You celbs aren't as special as you think just pay so we don't have to laugh at you
