Aaron Carter’s got company: The Tax Man cometh for celebrity canker sore Joe Francis.
Apparently, Uncle Sam isn’t a fan of topless coeds or the man made famous for exploiting.

The IRS wants some serious money from the sleaze, filing a lien against him for a staggering $33,819,087.14 in unpaid taxes from 2001, 2002 and 2003. For his part, Joe has decided to go with the “I Have No Idea” defense. The Girls Gone Wild founder insists he’s forked over the dough he allegedly owes the U.S. government and cannot fathom why he’s being sued.

“I have no idea what it is,” Joe told TMZ.com Wednesday. “This is total retaliation for me beating them in court.”

The new tax mess comes just two weeks after the soft-porn king agreed to a plea deal to escape jail time in a federal tax evasion case. Joe claims that federal officials have taken more than $100 million in cash accounts, forcing him to file for bankruptcy.
