Story summary

As of October 15, 2026, Todd and Julie Chrisley, reality TV stars from Florida and Tennessee, are facing a federal tax lien for more than $1.5 million after President Donald Trump pardoned them in May 2025 for their convictions of bank fraud and tax evasion. The Internal Revenue Service filed the lien on August 19, 2026, in Davidson County, Tennessee, listing two unpaid assessments: $142,410.72 for the period ending December 31, 2021, and $1,429,041.89 for December 31, 2022. Despite their pardons in 2025, which freed them from prison sentences of 12 years (for Todd) and 7 years (for Julie), the Chrisleys now owe significant back taxes, raising questions about their financial stability post-pardon.
