Chrisley Knows Best" reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley have settled their case with the Georgia Department of Revenue.

                    

According to the settlement, the couple agreed to pay a total of $147,944.75 to the state to resolve its case.

                    

The family also receive a refund of more than $66,000 for the tax years from 2013 to 2016. 

The couple had been accused of evading nearly $2 million in state taxes between 2008 and 2016.

                    

The settlement indicates that the couple had actually overpaid several of those years.

                    

According to the settlement, the only year in which they owed the state money was 2009. That year, combined the couple owed $214,118, according to the settlement. They owed no money in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and were due refunds in 2013 through 2016.

                    

“Julie and I knew all along that we had done nothing wrong and that when the facts all came out, we would be fine,” said Todd Chrisley in a statement released by his attorney. “We’re just glad that the Department of Revenue was willing to keep an open mind and look at all the evidence.”

                        

            

The state charges had long been settled with the Chrisleys. 

 "First, the issue that was discussed that came out in the redirect and then the re-cross of Officer Betty Carter was whether the Chrisleys had paid taxes in the post-conspiracy period," he said. "Now, the district court below confirmed that that would have a potential prejudicial effect on the defendants leading the jury to believe that they had not paid their taxes, that they weren't interested in paying taxes, that they were untruth type of person who could commit fraud charged in the other acts. That effect spills over not just to the tax charges but to all of the fraud charges in this case."

 Regarding taxes owed, Little argued that his clients "paid everything before trial" and "the government doesn't argue that they hadn't paid."

 "The IRS didn't know what they were doing. The left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing," Little claimed. "In the system, if you had looked, .... you can see both taxpayers and you can see that there's a large sum sitting for Todd Chrisley that has not been applied to the joint return with Julie Chrisley."

 "If she [Officer Betty Carter] looked at that, she would've seen that those two would've extinguished each other," he continued. "And, if the IRS had properly applied it, they would not then be what Betty Carter says, there would be interest and penalties. She would know those interest and penalties would not be due because that payment was made years before with respect to that payment."
