The state tax lien was just filed on March 10 and notes interest and fees will continue to accrue until the outstanding balance is paid.
Between federal and state taxes, documents show Jax owes a total of more than $1.2 MILLION in back payments which will continue to increase if not paid.

In December, Bravo announced Jax and wife, Brittany, would not return to the West Hollywood-based reality show.
His comments cost him a lot – as it was reported Jax was the highest-paid earner on Pump Rules with an alleged salary of $25,000 per episode.
As the season typically consists of 24 episodes, this would mean the controversial star is potentially losing out on more than $600,000 per year.
The Bravolebrity was accused of “racist and transphobic” comments as fans quickly called for his firing – with even pal Lance Bass agreeing he should be off the show.
Over the Summer, Bravo fired Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute for their “racist” past behavior.

Just before his firing, Billie tweeted at the network: “What about Jax Taylor? He refused to film with me because I was trans and called him out on his white cis privilege.”
The star’s money woes come as Jax and Brittany – who wed in a tumultuous TV wedding last year – are expecting their first child together.
In addition to a baby on the way, the duo also put down a hefty amount of money on a $1.9M modern farmhouse just outside of Los Angeles in the upscale Valley Glen area.
At the time of purchase, the soon-to-be parents were elated and boasted about the buy on social media as it’s their first bought home together.
