I guess I'm too stupid to file the Kerry-Heinz-Kerry way.
Nah. You're just not rich enough. I'm sure she is employing an army of lawyers, accountants and tax planners to make sure that she minimizes the Heinz family tax burden. Most of the shelters are probably legal, but there's no way anyone can tell from the first two pages of her 1040.
What we do know is she signed her name as "Teresa Heinz", not Heinz-Kerry. We also know that she paid more in alternative minimum tax than regular income tax. But we don't know why. It may have something to do with the oil and gas and timber partnerships she owns, or interest on certain "private activity" municipal bonds that are exempt from regular income tax but not AMT. Unless she releases the rest of her 1040, including the schedules, we'll never know. I'm not holding my breath for that to happen.

Steve Forbes' flat tax wouldn't sit well with Kerry/Heinz.
