TMZ reports the IRS has filed a lien of $1.1 million — $1,130,609.11 to be exact — against the singer.

There’s no word yet from Richie’s reps.

Richie’s country music collaboration Tuskegee recently reached number two on the Billboard 200 chart, his best debut since 1986.  It sold 199,000 copies in its first week of release.
