April 15 is almost here, so you'd better file that tax return soon or else you might end up like Wesley Snipes. The “Blade” actor recently got out of prison after serving three years on tax evasion charges. According to TMZ, Snipes was released from McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania on April 2 and will continue to be under house arrest until July 19.
