Alec Baldwin has been audited by New York tax officials amid suspicion he's lying about his living arrangements to avoid paying sky-high city income tax, according to local reports.
The actor and New York Yankees baseball star Derek Jeter are among the hundreds of New Yorkers who have been confronted by auditors over residency rules, according to the New York Daily News.
The 30 Rock star, who films much of the series in the city, reportedly owns a pad in Los Angeles, a residence on Manhattan's posh Central Park West and a house in New York suburb the Hamptons, which he claims as his home base.
Filers are expected to swear under oath on tax forms as to how many days they "spend in New York City". If the number is higher than 183 days, the filer must claim residence.
Representatives for Baldwin and New York tax officials have refused to discuss the case.
However, Baldwin recently alluded to tax woes during a speaking engagement at the Big Apple's City College, telling the audience: "The moment you start working regularly (in the city), the city finance people come after you."
