‘Teen Mom’ stars Maci Bookout and Taylor McKinney face an additional $350,000 federal tax lien on top of their already large tax debt – The Ashley’s Reality Roundup

Uncle Sam has come once again to Maci book release and her husband Taylor McKinney.

The Teen Mom: The Next Chapter A huge federal tax lien was filed against the couple earlier this month, according to a new report from The sun.

On June 6, Maci and Taylor were jointly assessed a federal tax lien for $351,699. Just a month earlier, the couple had received a separate federal tax lien for $86,620.

These liens were on top of the mountain of tax money Maci and Taylor already owe. As The Ashley previously reported, a $105,346 federal tax lien was filed against Maci and Taylor in February, as well as a $49,383 federal lien against Maci alone. (For those whose schools are “not doing well” and are having trouble keeping track, that’s four federal tax liens filed against Maci and Taylor this year alone!)

In 2023, Maci and Taylor were hit with a $143,413 federal tax lien in another county in Tennessee, the state where they live.

A Tennessee court clerk confirmed The sun that the five liens against Maci and/or Taylor had not been discharged at the time of publication.

“There are five unreleased liens on Maci and three of them are also in Taylor’s name,” the employee said The sun.

Incredibly, these aren’t the only back taxes Maci owes. In addition, in May 2023, Maci received a tax lien in the amount of $14,227 that she owes to the State of California. (The Ashley could not determine why Maci, a Tennessee resident, had to pay taxes in California.) Maci also owes the State of California $12,569 for the 2017 tax year.

Although Maci and Taylor still make a lot of money from their appearances on the various “Teen Mom” shows, “the money isn’t flowing like it used to,” according to one of The Ashley’s behind-the-scenes sources.

“Now that there is no guarantee that (Maci or Taylor) will appear in all episodes, it has a major impact on their salaries and the salaries of all other cast members,” the source said, adding that the network is always looking for ways to cut costs on the aging show.

Maci and Taylor are certainly not the only actors who have gotten into trouble with Uncle Sam. Their co-star from “Next Chapter” Leah Messer is also currently in the midst of a tornado of tax debt. As The Ashley previously reported, Leah currently owes more than $500,000 in back taxes. And just last month Amber Portwood received a $59,000 tax lien from the State of California. (Again, it is unknown why Amber – an Indiana resident – owes money to the State of California.)

Catelynn Lowell And Tyler Baltierra They also had large tax debts. In January 2023, the couple finally paid off their massive tax arrears of $856,800.

Overall, however, Maci is the star of the Teen Mom series who has been hit with the most individual tax liens. In addition to the above-mentioned liens, Maci received a lien of $78,308 in 2013, just to another lien in 2015 for $5,249 and a third in 2017 for $12,569. However, those liens have since been paid off.

As The Ashley previously reported, the “Teen Mom” ​​girls are all “independent contractors,” and therefore do not have taxes automatically deducted from their paychecks like “regular” W-2 employees do. They are responsible for making quarterly prepayments for their state and federal taxes.
