A lien was placed on their home, as the filing reads: “We have made a demand for payment of this liability, but it remains unpaid. Therefore, there is a lien in favor of the United States on all property and rights to property belonging to this taxpayer for the amount of these taxes, and additional penalties, interests and costs that may accrue.”
The address of their Valley Glen, California home that they purchased in 2019 is listed.

Jax was the highest-paid earner on Vanderpump Rules with an alleged salary of $25,000 per episode.
As the season typically consists of 24 episodes, this would mean the controversial star is potentially losing out on more than $600,000 per year.
The Bravolebrity was accused of “racist and transphobic” comments as fans quickly called for his firing.
Right before the firing, the couple purchased their five-bedroom, four-bathroom home in 2019 for $1.9million.
