Taxing: The IRS is auctioning property owned, in part, by La Toya Jackson in an effort to help pay her $473,000 tax bill. The April 7 auction in Van Nuys involves one-fourth interest in the Jackson family’s Encino estate. La Toya’s famous brother, Michael Jackson, owns the majority interest in the 18-room home, which is occupied by parents Joe and Katherine Jackson. The IRS said it will accept a minimum bid of $319,030 for La Toya’s share of the Jackson home.
