Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s messy lives and relationship have been well-documented. Tori grew up in front of the camera on Beverly Hills, 90210, and Dean spent years jumping between acting and hosting jobs.
Along the way, they also let viewers inside their home on several reality shows. True Tori revealed the most difficult aspects of their marriage, and many people learned about their struggles from that series alone. The show has been over for years, but the chaos continued.
The two eventually called it quits in 2023 after seventeen years together. Once their divorce was finalized earlier this month, the court records made something else clear: they’re walking away with a huge tax problem still hanging over them.
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s tax debt was revealed in their divorce settlement
According to court filings obtained by Fox News Digital, Tori and Dean owe more than $1.7 million in unpaid federal and state taxes. The judgment listed $1.2 million owed to the IRS and over $500,000 owed to the California Franchise Tax Board.
Tori and Dean – whose financial issues and spending have been in the headlines for years – will split the federal amount evenly. Each will take responsibility for at least $600,000. They will also divide their state tax bill down the middle. The filings show other unpaid balances too. They still owe American Express $37,000, and they owe City National Bank for a long overdue six figure loan that has grown to almost $400,000.
The documents list additional personal debts. Tori owes $288,000 to one private individual and $69,000 to another. She also owes $10,228 in uninsured medical expenses. Dean owes $22,000 from a student loan and $20,609 in uninsured medical bills.
The settlement also reveals their income details. Dean claimed that Tori’s monthly earnings can range from $3,000 to $75,000, “depending on the job.” He said he earns about $3,800 per month and described a major drop in work “due to the SAG/AFTRA strikes and change in the industry.” He added, “My acting and producing work has decreased drastically.”
Tori filed for divorce in March 2024. They finalized the split earlier this month and reached agreements on custody, support, and asset division. They share five children, and Dean also has an adult son from a previous marriage.
Even with the divorce behind them, Tori and Dean still face a long financial road. Their tax bills, old loans, and personal debts will follow them into their separate lives long after the marriage ends.
