Chris Tucker is cutting his losses -- shedding two massive homes in Florida to help dig himself out of his financial hole ... TMZ has learned.

Tucker got lucky with the first property -- an 8,861 square foot, 5-bedroom waterfront home in Lake County -- successfully negotiating a short sale before the bank planned to foreclose on it last month.

Chris' bank accepted a $2 million bid for the house -- satisfying the actor's debt -- even though he allegedly owed $4.4 million on the property before selling it. Considering Tucker bought the place for $6 million, it was a great deal for whoever just snatched it off the market.

In October, Tucker sold the other Florida pad for $1,050,000 ... much less than his $1.5 million asking price.

But any money is good money at this point -- as we previously reported, Tucker still allegedly owes Uncle Sam $11.5 million in back taxes. Good thing they're making another "Friday."

Chris Tucker Dumps TWO Florida Mansions
Filed under: Tiny Lister, Movies, Chris Tucker, Ice Cube


Chris Tucker's money problems could be the best thing to ever happen to his movie career ... because the actor has been in serious talks with Ice Cube about reprising his role as SMOKEYYYYY ... so says the guy who played DeBo in the "Friday" series.

Tiny Lister was hangin' out in L.A. last night -- when the scariest man in Hollywood told us ... Tucker flew him out on his private jet recently to discuss the possibility of getting the ORIGINAL "Friday" crew back together.

FYI -- Tucker shot into superstardom playing pot-obsessed Smokey in the original "Friday" back in 1995 ... and then refused to appear in any of the sequels, citing religious reasons.

But now, Lister tells us ... Tucker and Cube have a big pow-wow set for next week to discuss a 4th "Friday" film ... adding, "This is gonna be the big one."

Lister told us he and Tucker also talked about doing a sequel to the 1997 hit, "The Fifth Element."

Sidenote -- Chris Tucker still has a private jet????

The IRS hasn't forgotten about Chris Tucker's $11.5 million debt ... TMZ has learned that Uncle Sam is still trying to collect their cash ... 17 months after slapping the actor with a big, fat tax bill.

According to the L.A. County Recorder's Office, the lien issued against Tucker back in July 2010 is still active ... which means, he still owes money ... which means the government can legally seize his assets.




TMZ broke the story ... the IRS claims Tucker stiffed them out of income tax during multiple years ... including 2001, when Tucker allegedly raked in a $20 mil payday for "Rush Hour 2."

Still, Tucker is finally laughing at his financial troubles in a standup routine, joking last weekend, "that's the last time I let Wesley Snipes help me out with my taxes."

No from Tucker's camp.
