Just two years ago, Teresa and her ex-husband Joe Giudice — both of whom previously served prison terms after being convicted of fraud in 2014 — filed a $64,157.64 lien against them for the years 2016 and 2017.
They then received a lien of $243,425.50 for the year 2014 in April 2016 and a lien of $219,804.38 for the year 2015 in May.

Teresa has paid off her alleged debt, with The Sun reporting that she paid off another lien last year for $363,120.

They finally welcomed their daughter Audriana Giudice, the youngest of their four girls, naturally in September 2009 after the failed IVF attempt.
In 2017 it was reported by TMZ that Teresa had fully repaid the $414,588 tax debt she owed the government as part of her sentence.
The sun then reported that a supposed $8,000 in fines had also been “paid in full” as of February 2022.
Both Joe and Teresa pleaded guilty in 2014 to “one count of conspiracy to commit mail and telegram fraud, one count of bankruptcy fraud by concealment of assets, one count of bankruptcy fraud by false oaths, and one count of bankruptcy fraud by false statement.” ,’ according to the DOJ.
Joe “also pleaded guilty to one charge of failure to file a tax return.”
Teresa was sentenced to 15 months in prison in January 2015, but was released two months early for Christmas on December 23, 2015.
Joe was imprisoned in March 2016 and served a 41-month sentence before being deported to his native Italy in October 2019.
