Embattled TV stars Todd Chrisley and wife Julie allegedly hit with $1.5million tax lien just over a year after Trump prison pardon for tax evasion

Todd and Julie Chrisley are the subject of a federal tax lien filed in Davidson County, Tennessee, which comes after they were pardoned last year by President Donald Trump in their 2022 financial convictions.

The Internal Revenue Service filed a $1,571,452 federal tax lien against the reality TV couple in Davidson County, Tennessee this past August 19, Page Six reported after reviewing records in the case.

The lien was split into a pair of assessments with unpaid tax sums, according to the records reviewed by the outlet.

One was a total of $142,410.72 for the period ending as of December 31, 2021 as assessed as of December 5, 2022, records reviewed by Page Six indicated.

The second was for the period ending as of December 31, 2022 in the amount of $1,429,041.89, as assessed as of December 11, 2023, according to records reviewed by Page Six.

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Todd and Julie Chrisley for further comment on the story. 

The tax lien filed in August is unrelated to previous financial transactions the pair had been linked to in their federal convictions. 

The Chrisleys were pardoned by President Trump in May of 2025 in connection with their convictions in orchestrating a $36 million bank fraud and tax evasion scheme.

Following their June 2022 convictions, Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced to a collective 19 years in custody and began serving them in January of 2023.

Todd had been serving a 12-year sentence, which was later reduced to 10 years, while Julie was serving a seven-year sentence, at prisons in Florida and Kentucky respectively, prior to their pardons.

The pair had also been placed on supervised release following their sentences, which was upended by the presidential pardon last year.

Prosecutors said Todd, 57, and Julie, 53, had withdrawn more than $36 million in loans by means of fraud, using doctored financial records.

The couple spent the money on high-end items such as vehicles, clothing, homes and trips, prosecutors said.

Their daughter Savannah successfully campaigned for their early release, with President Trump personally calling her to inform her of his decision to grant a pardon to her parents.

Todd in 2025 was asked during a news conference whether he feels any remorse over his conviction.

He replied: 'I would have remorse if it was something that I did. The corruption that went on in our case is going to continue to unfold.'

The pair earlier this year appeared on the Fox series The Masked Singer, performing the song Jailhouse Rock in a nod to their convictions.

Todd told Gold Derby earlier this year: 'Choosing the song was something I really wanted. I picked Jailhouse Rock because it was tongue-in-cheek.

'It was playing with the situation and letting the naysayers know we were going to get to it before they did.'

Julie said the pair 'had an amazing time' competing on the series despite being 'completely out of my comfort zone.'

She added: 'I am not a singer of any kind, but Todd and I had such an amazing time doing it together.'

Todd is father to five children: daughter Lindsie Chrisley, 37, and son Kyle Chrisley, 35, with ex-wife, Teresa Terry; and with Julie, sons Chase Chrisley, 30, daughter Savannah Chrisley, 29, and son Grayson Chrisley, 20.
