Why did Skyler give Ted $600000?

Skyler gave Ted Beneke $600,000 to cover his massive IRS tax debt because if Ted went to prison for tax evasion, an investigation into his books would expose Skyler's own illegal money laundering activities for Walter White's meth operation, thus unraveling their entire criminal enterprise and threatening her family. She used Walt's drug money to pay Ted's debt anonymously, posing as an incompetent bookkeeper to deflect suspicion, but Ted's refusal to pay his debt and subsequent misuse of the money led to Skyler's desperate, forceful intervention to make him comply.
