Pop music diva Beyonce has responded to the US government after it was said she owed more than two million euros in taxes. The "Crazy In Love" hitmaker has filed a petition with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and requested a trial in Los Angeles, according to documents obtained by People. This comes after the IRS issued a notice saying the pop queen owed more than two million euros in back taxes.

Beyonce owes $805,850 for 2018, $1,442,747 for 2019 plus $449,719.40 in penalties, according to the IRS. But the Broken Hearted Girl hitmaker's legal team have disputed the tax bill, claiming at least €868,766 of the total should be deducted as it was a charitable donation.

Meanwhile, Beyonce has a net worth of 450 million euros. Her husband Jay-Z is said to have a net worth of €2.5 billion. The pair have many business ventures, although Beyoncé and Adidas reportedly cut ties recently.
