Could be lying, or maybe they contribute 12% to their 401k, or pay for daycare with pretax dollars, or have an HSA and an IRA, etc. There's lots of causes for taxable income ≠ salary- there's no need to make baseless accusations

Yeah. Although when I looked at the math[1] it's a moot point since if you make $100k/year you're only paying 15% _without_ any of those mitigations.
