Actor Wesley Snipes has been found guilty of failing to file tax returns by a US jury but cleared of more serious charges including fraud.
The film star was accused of failing to pay tax on $58m (£29.1m) of income from 1999 to 2004.
Snipes and two co-defendants denied eight charges in one of the US tax service's biggest ever cases.
He was found guilty on three misdemeanours and could still face up to three years in prison.
Snipes, 45, and the two co-defendants had been charged with six counts of failing to file tax returns, two of fraudulently claiming tax refunds and one count of conspiracy to defraud the government.
