As a follow up to the below per our conversation:

As an example, if you were to provide $10,000 in alimony and $10,000 in child support you would need $30,000 a month in pre-tax income or $360,000 a year.

If you continue to pay all of the auto-pays and tuition for the girls you would need approx. $30,0000 a month in post-tax income which equates to $60,000 a month in pre-tax or $720,000 a year.  (I am rounding up slightly and assuming your tax rate is 50% when it is closer to 47/48%.)

Therefore, the above scenario would require you to make $1,080,000 a year.   Anything beyond that would be money for your use.   This does NOT include money for back taxes, etc. however.

In 2014 you joined the Burisma board and we still need to amend your 2014 returns to reflect the unreported Burisma income.  That is approximately $400,000 extra so your income in 2014 was closer to $1,247,328.
