Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband are accused of having two active homestead exemptions.

Homestead exemptions offer tax breaks to homeowners, but only one per married couple is permitted.

If the couple is found to be violating Georgia state law, they could face a fine of $12,000.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green has been accused of breaking Georgia state law by illegally filing for tax exemptions on separate homes in two different counties, according to an investigation by Atlanta's WSB-TV.

The investigation found that Greene and her husband have two active homestead exemptions, WSB-TV said.

Property tax homestead exemptions offer significant tax breaks to homeowners. Married couples are only allowed to file for one exemption, according to Georgia law.

But the Greenes are reportedly receiving tax breaks on a property in North Fulton County and another $610,000 home in Floyd County, WSB-TV's investigative journalist Justin Gray said.
