Courtney Love has been hit with a hefty bill from U.S. authorities over allegations she failed to keep her taxes up to date.

Officials at America's Internal Revenue Service (Irs) filed a tax lien against the Hole star earlier this month (Jul13), alleging she owes around $260,000 (£167,742) from 2009 and 2011, according to Tmz.com.

She previously fell foul of tax authorities back in 2009, when she was hit with a lien for around $324,335 (£209,248), which was subsequently paid off.
