The former couple, whose divorce was finalized in August 2025, racked up quite the tax bill before their split.

The pair has an open tax lien for $291,812.48, which is the bill from 2018 and 2019.

The U.S. Sun reached out to the former Teen Mom star and Mackenzie for comment.

The couple got married in 2017, with Mackenzie first filing for divorce in February 2023 after she accused him of abuse.

They share kids Jagger, 7, and Stella, 6.

Mackenzie also has son Hudson, 12, from a previous relationship, while Ryan has 17-year-old son Bentley with ex Maci Bookout, and 1-year-old daughter Presley with new wife Amanda Conner.

Before their latest debt drama, Mackenzie and Ryan fought over child support.

As The U.S. Sun previously reported Mackenzie filed a petition demanding child support, claiming Ryan had completely refused to pay up.

At the time, Mackenzie pointed out that she had physical custody of their two kids while Ryan was bringing in steady reality TV money.

She asked a judge to force him to pay immediate support, plus back pay dating all the way to their original separation.

Initially, things looked pretty lucrative for the former MTV star.

According to financial disclosures obtained by The U.S. Sun, he listed his monthly income at a $16,010.

However, when ordered to hand over three years worth of banking history, Ryan’s personal accounts were surprisingly bleak.

One checking account held just $2,200, while another was sitting at a mere $57.47.

He also disclosed that he has zero savings or retirement accounts to his name, while carrying $18,000 in Capital One credit card debt.

By February 2025, a judge ordered Ryan to pay $1,553 a month in temporary child support based on his estimated MTV earnings of around $13,333 per month.

But just a few months later in July, Ryan raced back to court to beg for a lower payment, revealing that Teen Mom had been quietly canceled and therefore his reality TV payday was officially gone.

Ryan said he was now working full-time at a truck and trailer repair shop, making $27 an hour.

Meanwhile, Ryan’s current wife Amanda – whom he met in rehab in 2023 – is dealing with plenty of trouble herself.

Amanda was arrested after an incident last month in which Ryan called the cops on her for driving off with their baby daughter in the car while he suspected she was using narcotics.

Ryan had gone to a local Walgreens at two in the morning to purchase the drug test.

While he was out, Amanda allegedly loaded their baby into the car and took off.

Cops eventually caught up with Amanda and charged her with numerous offenses, including driving under the influence, child neglect and abuse, and driving on the wrong side of the road.

She is also currently on probation for a separate car accident back in February that resulted in bodily injury.
