Joe Francis has cojones. He's taking on Uncle Sam in court over a small bill -- around $34,000,000.
TMZ has obtained legal docs Francis filed in federal court, asking a judge to order the feds to release his money the government has frozen.
The IRS issued a tax lien against Francis earlier this month to the tune of $33,819,087.14. According to the new docs, the government went in and froze Joe's accounts over at UBS and Morgan Stanley. Joe told TMZ the accounts total $100 mil.
The "Girls Gone Wild" chief wants the judge to release the money, stat.
Joe says the frozen accounts have put him on the brink of bankruptcy.

Uncle Sam is on a rampage -- and this time he's gunning for Courtney Love.
According to a federal tax lien filed in Los Angeles County, the former Hole lead singer owes the gub'ment $324,335.21 in back taxes from 2007.
Love's lawyer, Keith Fink, blamed her tax troubles on her former business manager -- but added, "Ms. Cobain has every intention of paying those taxes."
