First daughter Ashley Biden has paid off a tax lien for more than $5,000 in Pennsylvania after missing payments during her father’s vice presidency and presidency.
The Keystone State’s Department of Revenue recorded that the $5,079 lien had been satisfied as of Jan. 3 and “should be removed” from records in Philadelphia County’s Court of Common Pleas, The Post confirmed Tuesday.
The updating lien filing was first reported by Fox News.
Ashley Biden, 42, had the legal claim placed on her property in a Dec. 1 notice previously obtained by The Post for failing to pay $1,691 in income taxes in 2015, when Joe Biden was Barack Obama’s No. 2, and $1,956 income taxes in 2021, the year he was inaugurated as president.
The Philadelphia court also slapped the tax-delinquent first daughter with a $94.44 filing fee after repeated attempts to collect.
Neither Ashley Biden’s attorney nor the White House immediately responded to requests for comment.
Pennsylvania GOP Rep. Dan Meuser, who served as state revenue secretary from 2011 to 2015, previously told The Post the tax lien indicated that the president’s daughter “has an estimated net worth of nearly $2 million,” making her delinquency the result of “privilege or carelessness.”
“At best it’s sad, at worst it’s unlawful,” he said in December. “Tax payment compliance in Pennsylvania is not difficult, and in Ashley Biden’s case she has the means to pay her taxes. Joe Biden loves chastising American taxpayers in the highest tax bracket — maybe there are a couple of other people he should be chastising.”
Garrett Ziegler, a former White House aide to President Donald Trump, notified Fox News and The Post about the updated tax filing for Ashley Biden, adding in a statement to Fox that “the people in her life should have done a better job of helping with her financial affairs.”
As a board member of the conservative nonprofit Marco Polo, Ziegler is locked in a legal battle with Ashley’s brother, Hunter Biden, over the publication of a searchable online portal of emails and media found on the first son’s infamous laptop.
Special counsel David Weiss indicted Hunter Biden, 53, in Los Angeles on Dec. 7, accusing him of also avoiding $1.4 million in income tax payments between 2016 and 2019.
Hunter was charged with three felonies, including tax evasion and filing false returns on his personal and corporate income for two of those years — as well as six misdemeanors for failing to pay taxes during the same time period.
He “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills,” according to the indictment, including payments for “drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes.”
The first son faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
Ashley Biden is the only child of Joe and Jill Biden and campaigned for her father in the 2020 election — during which her diary was stolen and leaked to right-wing journalists who published strange entries about her relationship with her father.
Other entries discussed her history of drug abuse, which includes a bust for marijuana possession while a student at Tulane University in 1999 and an alleged video of her snorting cocaine at a party in Delaware a decade later.
The first daughter was also arrested in 2002 for allegedly obstructing a police officer who was trying to break up a fight outside a bar in Chicago.
Ashley has since denounced the current political culture as “a disgusting ballgame,” according to remarks she made at a Washington, DC, event attended by CNN, and spoken out about her and her half-brother’s battle with drug abuse.
“I was able to get great treatment, and so I’ve been able to take some of those things that I’ve learned in therapy and use them as well,” she told Elle magazine in a March 2023 profile.
Ashley founded the fashion company Livelihood in 2017 and worked previously in Delaware as a social worker and the leader of a criminal justice reform organization.
