Lauryn Hill Enters New Jersey Repayment Plan to Resolve Nearly $900,000 in Tax Liens

The state action stems from the late cancellation of her planned 2024 tour.

Overview

  • Official New Jersey records list two active state income tax liens against Hill for $133,246 and $758,912.02.
  • Hill’s spokesperson says she is complying with a repayment plan with the State of New Jersey to address the liabilities.
  • The debts are tied to the fallout from a Fugees tour scheduled for 2024 that was called off days before launch.
  • The new state liens follow Hill’s 2012 federal tax‑evasion guilty plea and her 2013 incarceration, which remain separate matters.
  • Former bandmate Pras Michel dropped a fraud lawsuit against Hill on March 11, 2026, and he is due to report to federal prison by March 30, 2026.
