Comic flops with tax man
Macomb County native and former "Full House" funnyman Dave Coulier owes $48,856 in state and federal taxes, records show.
The 49-year-old California resident, who also owns a home in St. Clair Shores, is perhaps most famous his role as Joey on the ABC sitcom "Full House" --and as the rumored lover in Alanis Morissette's song "You Oughta Know."
Last week, he hosted the fundraising event Bras for a Cause at Royal Oak Theatre. Philanthropy is nothing new for Coulier, who started the Coulier Foundation to raise money for various groups.
What's owed:
- The state of California filed an $11,793 lien against him on May 4 in the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds office.
- The IRS filed a $37,063 lien against him on March 17, 2008, in Los Angeles County. He owes income taxes from 2005 and 2006, according to the recorder's office.
His side:
Coulier's manager did not return a phone call or e-mail seeking comment.
Bonus clip:
Before "Full House," Coulier starred in the wacky Nickelodeon show "Out of Control."
