Jon Gosselin has a 3-year-old tax lien filed against him by the Internal Revenue Service, according to reports out this week.

The tax lien totals about $39,000 and could pose a serious issue for Gosselin.

This will not be the first time that Gosselin has had financial complications and according to reports from Pennsylvania, Gosselin has allegedly not filed his taxes from 2009 to April 2012.

According to celebrity news website TMZ, Gosselin will owe the IRS about $39,141.82.

Gosselin has had a tough few years since splitting with his wife, Kate Gosselin in 2009. He also quit from their popular TLC series “Jon and Kate Plus 8,” and so will not have that hefty income to help with his current alleged tax discrepancies.

After the show, Gosselin has tried to return to a life out of the limelight. Although with eight children there is only so normal his life can get.

Since his divorce he has tried to find new love, and has dated several women according to celeb mag reports.

However, his new alleged tax problems could cause him significant headaches.

"I can't afford to pay my rent, and the domestic-relations staff tell me they will put me in jail unless I pay child support," Gosselin told Star Magazine in August 2012 "I am a single father who's trying to make ends meet during a recession. What do I do – pay child support or rent? I need to support my kids, but I could lose my house, and I need my home to continue to have custody."

He added, "I decided to take the high road and quit reality television and now look, I'm going to end up in jail because I can't afford to pay child support to Kate who has plenty of money. I'm doing the best I can but life is so expensive with eight kids!"

Meanwhile, ex-wife Kate Gosselin has tried to remain in the public eye, and has been featured in her own spin-off show, “Kate Plus 8.”

She has also featured as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars and written several books, as well as touring as a motivational speaker to others.
