Trading Spaces’ Participants Had To Pay Taxes

Trading Spaces was a home makeover show where neighbors would be given the opportunity to revamp a single room in one another’s homes using a $1,000 budget, which was later bumped up to $2,000. Such projects were supposedly paid in full by the producers, but in reality, the participants were put out of pocket with tax payments! Best Week Ever reported how a certain guest was strapped with taxes coming to $6,000 following their episode’s completion. Then there was the homeowner who revealed that they had to cover $2,800 in taxes.
