This is hard to believe but it is true[0].

No It's not true that she paid more than she earned. Her marginal tax rate was 102%, this is extremely different than her effective tax rate being 102%.

It's still an incredibly high marginal rate, but is nowhere near as crazy as the implied 102% effective tax rate.

Thanks for explaining it, I'm not able to edit my previous comment but I stand corrected.
