The sentencing comes almost a year and a half since she was first indicted on 20 counts of fraud.
After she serves her time in a facility, Miller will have an additional two years of supervised released, in addition to paying fines of $40K and $120K for the currency reporting violation charge she was hit with last summer.
The charges were made public after Miller hid more than $755,000 in earnings from the reality series from the courts.
There’s no official word yet from Lifetime if Dance Moms will be back for another season without its main star.
