Lisa Marie Presley has been so busy battling her ex-husband, she might have forgotten to pay attention to the other man in her life: the tax man.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the daughter of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley owes quite a bit of money to the state of California.

The State of California Franchise Tax Board filed a tax lien recently claiming Presley owes them $402,432.01 for back taxes. The lien claims Presley owes them money from 2016 and 2017.

Presley's 2016 was rather eventful — that was the year she filed fo divorce from Michael Lockwood and officially defected from the Church of Scientology.

Lisa Marie has been fighting with her ex-husband recently over whether or not she can take the couple's daughters to Graceland to celebrate Elvis Week.

As The Blast first reported, Presley filed a request with the court to travel with her daughters, Harper and Finley, to Memphis later this month.

Presley says they have attended the event as a family in the past so that the girls "get an understanding and more familiarity of their grandfather and what he has contributed to the world."

But Presley claims Lockwood is objecting to the trip this year. She claims Lockwood's objection centers around the possibility the girls will be photographed at the event. She says that she and Lockwood would bring their kids to the event every year when they were together and Lockwood even produced a video of the girls that was shown to the public during Elvis Week.

The court heard Presley's request late last month and denied her request for an emergency order. It's unclear if Presley will get another opportunity to get permission to travel with the kids before the Elvis Week events kick off.
