An Atlanta judge sentenced Todd Chrisley to 12 years in federal prison Monday, and wife Julie Chrisley received seven years after they were both found guilty in a federal tax evasion case.
Todd and Julie will each have to complete 16 months of probation following the end of their prison sentences.
The couple's report date is set for Jan. 15, 2023, according to FOX 5.
The Chrisleys did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
It's not clear if they will be able to stagger their sentences. The "Chrisley Knows Best" stars have custody of his 10-year-old granddaughter, Chloe.
Peter Tarantino, an accountant hired by the Chrisleys, was also found guilty and charged with two counts of willfully filing false tax returns.
Tarantino received three years in prison and will begin his sentence in May following a hip surgery.
Todd was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Meanwhile, Julie was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States. She was also hit with wire fraud and obstruction of justice charges.
Their charges typically carry a sentence of anywhere between 10 and 30 years. Prosecutors also wanted the Chrisleys to pay $20 million, according to the court documents.
