"Jersey Shore" alum Mike Sorrentino has found himself in a bit of a situation with the government.

The 32-year-old reality star, known as "The Situation," pleaded not guilty on Thursday against charges of tax fraud on $8.9 million in earned revenue.

On Sept. 25, Sorrentino and his brother Marc were named in a seven-count indictment for filing false tax returns in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

"According to the indictment, Michael and Marc Sorrentino filed false tax returns that incorrectly reported millions made from promotions and appearances," U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman told Us Weekly in a statement. "The brothers allegedly also claimed costly clothes and cars as business expenses and funneled company money into personal accounts. The law is absolutely clear: telling the truth to the IRS is not optional."

"Mr. Sorrentino pleads not guilty on all counts relating to him,'' said attorney Richard J. Sapinski on the behalf of "The Situation" during his arraignment before U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton for at a courthouse in Newark, New Jersey, reports USA Today.

The lawyer representing his brother said his client will also enter a not guilty plea.

The judge scheduled the New Jersey-based star to appear in court on Dec. 2 for the start of his trial.

Both Mike and Marc remain out on $250,000 bail. Mike faces up to 11 years in prison, and his brother is facing up to 14 years behind bars, according to NJ.com.

Originally, Sorrentino was supposed appear in court on Oct. 6 for his tax fraud case, but he pushed it back so he could continue filming a new reality TV show with his fiancée Lauren Pesce called "Marriage Boot Camp."

The reality TV star is also due to appear in the township's court later this month on Oct. 27 for a hearing related to his arrest July 15 after getting into a fight with his brother Frank at their family-run tanning business. He was charged with assault and sentenced to anger management classes.
