          Who knows maybe by adding 6 months it puts her in a different category for parole or something. It only takes $1 to move you from one tax bracket to another one. Maybe something like that is involved. I honestly don’t know.

            That’s not how tax brackets work. If you were one dollar over the next tax bracket, only that dollar would be taxed at that amount.

              You’re right I was just trying to illustrate something and I thought that was a good enough example but you’re absolutely correct
