    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.
