The State of California is putting a lien on Brit Brit's company for back taxes owed by Ms. Spears in the amount of $24,000, according to Access Hollywood.

The CA Franchise Tax Board will basically take control of Britney On Line, Inc. until the principal and the interest is paid in full.

Why the heck didn't Brit's accountant catch this?!
