The former *Vanderpump Rules* star owes a whopping $1.2 million in back taxes! According to [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/14554793/vanderpump-rules-fired-jax-taylor-bookkeeper-tax-debt/), Jax currently owes the federal IRS $868,035.  Jax's tax woes go all the way back to 2014 where he still owes $23,000.  Between state and federal taxes, including interest, late fees, and penalties, Jax owes a total of more than $1.2 MILLION in back payments. On a recent Instagram Live, Jax blamed his financial troubles on bad bookkeeping. *"Oh yeah, I had a bad tax situation. I had a bad bookkeeper. We all get bad bookkeepers. I suggest researching your bookkeeper when you pay your taxes because I got f*cked,”* he said. He added: *"I’m fixing it. It’s not a big deal."* On the same IG Live, Jax revealed the ONLY thing he will miss about being on Vanderpump Rules - and that is the paycheck! *"I’m going to miss the paycheck. That’s it. That’s the only thing I’m going to miss,"* Jax admitted. *"The show made a good decision. I stand with them 100 percent. I love everybody that was on it. I had a great run. Not too many guys can last nine years on a reality show.”* He added: *“It’s not fair to the show because I don’t put any effort in anymore. I’m not interested in that lifestyle."* Meanwhile, Jax's former VPR co-star Billie Lee claims that Jax was *"usually on drugs"* during filming. The former Pump Rules star says the working environment on the show was *"toxic."* *"I was around all cis people,"* she said on the "2 Servings of Fruit" podcast. *"They had their own cliques. They had their own groups. It was very catty.”* According to Billie, Jax Taylor, in particular, was anything but a pleasure to work with. Jax *"very difficult to work with,"* she admitted before claiming that Jax was always high during filming. He was *"usually on drugs"* during filming, adding that he was often *"agitated"* and *"angry,"* but producers let him get away with it. *"They would dance around that behavior,"* she noted. It's unclear when Pump Rules will return for season 9. ## Are you surprised by Jax's tax issues? Do you think he will miss being on the show? Do you believe Billie's claims about Jax? **[Follow](https://www.instagram.com/allabouttrh) **AllAboutTRH On **[Instagram.](https://www.instagram.com/AllAboutTRH)** **[Follow](https://www.twitter.com/allabouttrh) **AllAboutTRH On **[Twitter.](https://www.twitter.com/allabouttrh)****[Like](https://www.facebook.com/allabouttrh)** AllAboutTRH On **[Facebook.](https://www.facebook.com/allabouttrh)**
