Tori Spelling can't seem to catch a break. In the midst of her split from ex Dean McDermott and ongoing financial issues, the embattled actress was accused of owing nearly $100,000 in unpaid taxes, RadarOnline.com has learned.
While Spelling has a new set of financial issues to deal with, McDermott appeared to be on cloud nine as he flaunted his new girlfriend, Lily Cao.
According to the Blast, legal documents revealed the State of California Franchise Tax board filed several tax liens against Spelling for failing to pay taxes in four separate years.
One tax lien was filed for three back-to-back years of unpaid taxes — 2017, 2018 and 2019 — for a grand total of $59,049.02. Another tax lien was related to 2021 and claimed Spelling owed $36,717.11 in back taxes.
The two tax liens totaled nearly $96,000 that Spelling is on the hook for. The liens were additionally filed against her Calabasas home — and to make matters worse, the Tax Board further warned that the total could skyrocket as interest will continue to accrue until the balance is fully paid off.

Life hasn't been easy for Spelling as of late. Spelling's estranged husband recently opened up about their painful split after 17 years of marriage this past june — and his new girlfriend.
While candidly discussing his decision to go to rehab, the Canadian actor admitted, "I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't live that life anymore. I was tired of the anger and the yelling."
Meanwhile, as the last chance for reconciliation with Spelling faded out, McDermott's relationship with Calo flourished.
McDermott did, however, acknowledge Spelling in a kind light while speaking with the Daily Mail.
"All Tori's ever done to this day is want me to be happy and healthy and I inflicted a lot of damage and pain on that woman," the actor said. "I'm taking accountability for that today. And it's the biggest amend that I'm ever going to have to make."
Despite Spelling's wants for McDermott, the actor said the two had become "roommates" by the end of their marriage.
While McDermott appeared to soaking up the honeymoon phase with Calo, sources said Spelling was "over" her ex flaunting the relationship.
"Dean stepping out with a new woman since he hadn’t been seen in a long time is disrespectful to Tori," insiders told UsWeekly.
"She's over it," the source added while taking a jab at McDermott, who they claimed "hasn’t been as actively engaged with the family since they separated."
