Teen Mom's Maci Bookout owes $736k in back taxes as desperate star begs fans for cash

Maci Bookout was hit with some financial woes as the government imposed a tax lien.

The Teen Mom star is racking up her debt to the feds as a clerk confirmed that she's listed in five unreleased liens which name her husband, Taylor McKinney, too. Of those five, her latest is the largest, stacking up to a staggering $351,699, and was ordered on June 6.

Just two months prior, another lien was imposed on her at $86,620. While Taylor was tacked on to quite a few of these orders, Maci was also responsible for the debt independently on a few of them, too.

The clerk confirmed to The Sun that two liens were filed against her in February at $49,383 and $105,346. The couple's tax issues date back to 2023 when a lien of $143,413 was set which is still open and pending.

Amid the financial news, Maci is bringing in money through the Cameo app where fans can request and pay for the reality television star to record a shoutout video for them. She's selling these at $100 a pop. Maci has been pushing out promo for the opportunity on her Instagram, directing her over 4 million followers to her Cameo page. It's unclear just how much dough she's raking in from the content app.

Maci's time on Teen Mom reportedly had a payout, but the exact contract is unknown. As an OG of the show, Cheat Sheet reports that she's making $500,000 per season. However, she has previously insisted that she's not living in luxury and glamour. In her memoir, she wrote: "Reality TV can make you very famous, but you basically get the s--- end of the deal: Everyone knows your name and talks about you, but there’s no red-carpet prestige or glamorous piles of money.

"Once you become a so-called reality TV star, people immediately think you’re a high-end celebrity and you travel the world and have a mansion and so much money and all these other things they associate with having your face on television. The fact is, my real life isn’t that much different from what it would have been without MTV. I still live in Chattanooga and go to Wal-Mart and buy bread and milk."

The root cause of Maci's financial hardship is unclear. The mom of three owns quite a bit of assets which can be seized to fulfill the liens, if she's not careful. On her books are two Tennessee properties, one of which was purchased at $339,000 and boasts 48 acres of land. The plot of land doesn't yet seem to host a home, so is still currently living on their other property in a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom mansion. Plus, the star owns a small fleet of Jeeps.
