There is no one reason why so many popular black actors end up with tax fraud issues. In some cases, it may be due to a lack of financial education or poor financial advice. Tax laws can be complicated and individuals may fail to file or pay taxes when they should. Other factors could include trying to avoid paying taxes that the actor feels are unfair, a misunderstanding of their tax obligations, or fraud committed by advisers or others on their behalf. Without further information, it is difficult to say why exactly Wesley Snipes ended up with tax fraud issues.

There is no easy answer to this question, but one possible factor is the complex and often unclear tax laws in the United States. Tax compliance requires an understanding of many regulations which aren't always easily identified or interpreted by those not familiar with the inner workings of the US tax code.  Additionally, there have been various allegations over the years that certain elements within the IRS have targetted black entertainers specifically, and subjected them to tougher scrutiny than other taxpayers - something which may contribute towards such mistakes occurring in some cases.
