Tori Spelling, Dean McDermott Finalize Divorce Amid $1.7M Tax Debts

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott, the former reality television couple, have finalized their divorce amid revelations of more than $1.7 million in unpaid federal and state taxes, as detailed in court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on November 13, 2024.

The judgment, which officially ends their 18-year marriage, shows the pair owing approximately $1.2 million to the Internal Revenue Service, with each responsible for at least $600,000. They also face over $500,000 in back taxes to the California Franchise Tax Board, to be divided evenly. Court filings further outline additional financial obligations, including $37,000 on an American Express collection account and a lingering balance with City National Bank from a loan that led to a lawsuit against them in 2016. That debt has reportedly grown to nearly $400,000.

Spelling, 52, the actress known for her role in the 1990s series Beverly Hills, 90210, individually owes $288,000 to a private individual, $69,000 to another unnamed person, and $10,228 in uninsured medical expenses. McDermott, 59, a Canadian actor and host, carries $22,000 in student loan debt and $20,609 for his own uninsured medical bills.
