(2,792 posts)1. Severance pay ($200,000) for Jane from Burlington College (2011 or 2012 filing year).
2. Other benefits paid to Jane from Burlington College (besides severance).
3. Campaign funds paid to Jane for her "consultant" work for Bernie's campaign (what is she worth?).
4. $4000 paid again to Jane as alternate member of toxic waste committee (re Sierra Blanco).
5. Rents from multiple properties (what assets were they taking so many deductions for?).
Jane does the taxes, and Jane has the embarrassing stuff to hide (including assets producing income). That's why I think that Bernie would be willing to let her take the blame, even though he also signed the forms. But he isn't good at "math and numbers" (shown by his tax and spend proposals), so it wasn't his fault.
ETA: They probably should have chosen "married filing separately" status.
