Trent, Amber Johnston Failed To Pay Taxes, Huge Lien

Trent and Amber Johnston live on a 10-acre ranch in Forsyth, Georgia. Some of their five kids live with them still. The family has been struggling with Trent’s health issues. On top of that, his mother recently passed away. Emma Johnston shared a heartfelt tribute to her “Nana.” Despite starring on reality TV for the last decade, the Johnstons are apparently struggling to keep up with their bills. The U.S. Sun reported that Trent and Amber got hit with a huge tax lien in July 2025.

The couple owes a whopping $435,407.08 in back taxes. According to the outlet, Trent and Amber Johnston didn’t pay their taxes in 2021, 2022, or 2023. A tax lien could mean the Johnstons could lose their house or other property to pay off the debt. But fans don’t feel bad for them. Check out some of the comments about their massive tax debt:

• “Sounds like they need to place a call to Todd Chrisley”
• “Why do people on reality tv shows think they don’t have to pay taxes?”
• “what’s with people not paying their taxes? in what world has someone didn’t pay taxes and ended up in a good position? like no one is above not paying taxes. look at the chrisleys, mike sorentino, etc.”
• “I watched the entire series a few months ago from beginning to end. It’s crazy to watch their progression from people with a modest house/ cars to the massive home/ cars they are in now. The greed is strong…”
• “Karma for treating Anna the way they do.”

Trent Johnston Gets Diagnosed, Doctors Concerned

Ever since the last season of 7 Little Johnstons, the family has been worried about Trent Johnston. Even though he is still in his 40s, he revealed to his family that his brain is rapidly deteriorating to the point where it’s like having the brain of someone double his age. Based on the latest Season 16 spoilers making the rounds, Trent Johnston breaks the news to his family that he has “White Matter Disease (WMD).” This is “a group of conditions that affect the white matter of the brain.” Trent goes on to tell his family that this was caused by his sleep apnea. The doctors told Trent that he needed to start treating his sleep apnea “right away,” or else it would be the “cause” of his death.

There have been some posts going around online that Trent Johnston is dead. However, fans did not know what to believe. It is safe to say that Trent is not dead, and he is alive and well. This is great news for fans to hear, as they were worried, he had passed away.

However, the hoax going around online is shocking for people to see. However, this has happened with a bunch of celebrities before. Trent seems to be doing well with his family and has not passed away. Everyone is relieved to hear the good news about the 7 Little Johnstons star.

It seems as though Trent Johnston is not dead. The things that are going around online are false, and fans cannot believe them. Some of the comments knew that it was not true. However, some believed the hoax. This is not funny, and disappointing that people would lie about the death of Trent Johnston. However, he is still alive and well with his family and wife, Amber.
