The Internal Revenue Service says former "Little House on the Prairie" star Melissa Gilbert failed to pay more than $360,000 in federal income taxes.

The Detroit News reports the IRS filed a tax lien against the actress in February and details emerged after she recently announced that her family was moving from a rented home to another area home.



Gilbert blames the 2011-2013 tax debt on a stalled acting career, the economy and divorce. In a statement to the newspaper, she says that "like so many people across the nation, the recession hit me hard" and there was a "perfect storm of financial difficulty for me."

Gilbert says she's negotiated a payment plan with the IRS.

Though, she wouldn't owe taxes (especially that much) if she didn't have income. So if she would have been making regular payments to the IRS while taking in that income, she wouldn't be in this situation.

The IRS wants to take her land, but she said she owns the house on top of that land, and she's going to blow it up.

Naughty, naughty Halfpint!! What would Pa say??
