Tomorrow isn't looking so good for Sean Kingston, at least when it comes to his finances.

The Internal Revenue Service is going after the reggae star for failing to pay $131,379 in taxes for income generated 2009 when he was riding high with his sophomore album Tomorrow.

Here's the deal.

E! News can confirm that the feds have put a lien on the New York City property Kingston owns on East 42nd Street for not paying his dues. If the 22-year-old "Beautiful Girls" singer (real name Kisean Anderson) fails to come up with the cash, Uncle Sam will then assume possession.

A rep for Kingston was unavailable for comment, but here's hoping he gets his act together, stat.
