Has Nene Leakes Paid Off Her 2014 Tax Lien?

February 12, 2017 by tamaratattles 18 Comments

As I previously reported last August…

Linnethia Monique Leakes, was hit with a Federal Tax Lien on July 22 in Georgia court. The IRS wants a total of $824,366.01 in back taxes for the year 2014, according to court documents. How could she possibly owe that much in taxes? Well, in 2014 she was paid well under a million dollars by RHOA, but also received a six figure income from DWTS where she placed seventh on the show. She also had income from her role on Cinderella that year and got an advance on her clothing line which also began in 2014.  And she did a few other paid appearances and sold a bunch of t-shirts and crap.  In nearly every one of those instances, Nene was paid as an independent contractor which means she got the checks with no taxes taken out and received a copy of the 1099 which was sent to the IRS by the employers. I guess she thought she just didn’t need to file taxes.

According to my calculations, using the tax amount as the known variable, Nene make approximately $2.1 million in 2014 and did not file a tax return.  She did buy that giant house where she never lives. And the IRS is grateful for that, because they have placed a lien on the property.

Well, according to The Dirty Nene Has paid off her entire balance and the lien on her house has been removed. It seems as though The Dirty has stopped posting things about random women on the Internet in order to disparage their character, and is moving more toward the entertainment industry. I found the info through AJC journalist, Rodney Ho, and if he is quoting it, I believe it. Maybe. The Dirty didn’t provide any receipts, like the actual legal documents.  It has been six months since the lien on her property became public knowledge. If she came up with nearly a million dollars in that amount of time, she really is stacking some coins.

No word on her multiple state tax  problems in California, Georgia and New York.

So what do we think? Is she the first housewife in history to get her tax issues straightened out?

    She may have seen what happened to the other more felonious housewives, and learned something – Uncle Sam don’t play.

    She’s photoshopped to hell in that second picture! If she paid them fine, and good for her. But, why isn’t it being reporting on some other more reputable blogs? The Dirty is hardly reputable. Just my 0.02 cents!

        Tamara as we all know Nene loves to brag, and throw her accomplishments in her haters faces…So why isn’t she speaking about it on social media, like she does everything else? She rushed to “play it down” and “save face” when her tax troubles were first announced? So, now she’s silent all of a sudden? Something just seems off and odd! Also, I heard there may be trouble in paradise between her and Stormy Wellington. Stormy reportedly doesn’t feel that Nene promotes TLC enough, look for it to all play out on the internet smh!

        She could have done a negotiated settlement ( not saying that she did). Oft times those are around half of the owed amount prior to fees. Also, NeNe seems to have finally taken someone’s advise and has been less publicly ostentatious. She has not mentioned the straw purchased Rolls Royce or any of her perceived finery.

          If she has a good tax attorney, and hopefully she does, she might have negotiated an offer in compromise with the IRS. With that you can end up essentially paying very little – it is contingent on your savings/assets/equity.

        Like the old commercial from the 90’s states; “Don’t believe her Ralph”. Nene is selling vitamins and tea and is obviously struggling. Where would she get that much money AND continue to party and travel as she does? Nene may be back to paying blogs to spin positive stories about her finances since she is trying to come back to RHOA. Kudos if she did but, I’ll believe it when I see the receipts.

    I saw the lien was released and the document was signed in Nashville on a couple of sites. I’m glad she took care of it.

    I find it interesting that there were reports of Theresa paying her restitution in full at the same time!

      Teresa had an IRS repayment plan as part of her plea deal. It was paid off before she went to prison, I believe.

    I checked the Georgia secretary of state site and the lien has been released. It was not important enough to me to pay for a copy of the document, but the federal lien is released.

      LOL – that’s funny. wouldn’t it be something if she did work it all out? It would be a first for these housewives for sure. I kinda trust Rodney Ho, too but then wasn’t she just trying to get some South African or Nigerian investors for something? Maybe it was her taxes…me and my imagination just takes off sometimes.

    She knew her days were numbered screeching “I’m a rich bitch” on every D-list talk show/rag mag before someone publicly called her out on owing over $800k.

    Yuk! She looks horrible! Her makeup looks like mud and the blonde wig is so unbecoming. Her best look was the natural look she had during the first few season. She should have left well enough alone.

    Glad she joined the team and is handling her business. She aligned herself with the right people. It’s sad her business was put all out there for people to talk about. The Take It Back Movement is all about building others up instead of tearing them down. I love our business and looking forward to meeting her at our event.
