The star reported to the federal prison in Danbury to commence her prison sentence after been sentenced May 6, 2013 to serve for three months for tax evasion.
Aside from her current sentence, Lauryn will also face three months house arrest afterwards as well as a year of supervised probation.
She had faced a possible sentence of as long as 36 months but the Judge took into account her lack of a prior criminal record and her six minor-aged children.
Hill began her career singing with the Fugees as a teenager in the 1990s before releasing her multiplatinum 1998 album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.”
She pleaded guilty last year in New Jersey to failing to pay taxes on more than $1.8 million earned from 2005 to 2007.
Her attorney had sought probation, arguing that Hill’s charitable works, her family circumstances and the fact she paid back the taxes she owed should merit consideration.
