The 58-year-old comedian's real name is Ned Arnel Holness, but he goes by Carlos Mencia professionally. Hochman called Mencia "One of California's biggest tax scofflaws."
Hochman said that translates to over $300,000 in state tax, and "by the way, we're not even dealing with whatever federal tax obligations he may have not complied with."
"He (Mencia) is on the California Franchise Tax Board's list of the 500 greatest tax delinquents in both personal and corporate income categories," Hochman said.
The charges are the first to be filed by the newly created Business Tax Fraud Unit, Hochman said. He noted the new unit will target businesses that evade tax payments.
