This is quite the hole to dig her way out of, but she’s keeping a positive attitude. Leah Messer addressed her nearly $800k tax debt in a new public statement. The former Teen Mom 2 star is currently facing both state and federal tax liens, some of which date back to 2015.
The taxman always collects and sadly, some people learn that the hard way!
After being hit with yet another six figure tax lien, Leah Messer is speaking out about the $780k in taxes that she owes to the government.
The Teen Mom star explained the situation to In Touch on Friday.
“I have worked with many different accountants over the years,” Leah explained. “At first, I was filing and paying more than I was making and then I was paying people that had me stall while ‘they handled the tax situation.’ Apparently it’s a long process.”
According to the mother of three, unprecedented times of the past few years also affected her situation.
She remarked, “Then in 2020, the IRS was backed up like the entire world due to COVID.”
