He avoided taxes by paying consulting fees of $747,622 to a firm. That same year, according to her financial disclosure, the firm paid Ivanka Trump exactly $747,622. That’s Tax fraud plain and simple!

He went on a buying spree with Apprentice money and got caught in a bind when they money began to dry up. Bad.

ALL THIS. Deny it and you’re just a base, detestable liar.

It’s not tax fraud to pay your kids. Mine are on payroll. I pay consultants as well, many are my friends. If I’m going to pay someone for a service, it might as well be someone I know.

Paying between $0-750 income taxes is common in real estate? Reaaaally?

Yea, but it's more complicated than that of course. One of the big benefits with investment in real estate is depreciation, which you can manage strategically to minimize tax liabilities. However, you do eventually have to realize the gains. I'm partner in a building project which has been using depreciation to offset gains elsewhere. However, eventually when the building is done and sold, we have the capture and realize all gains, including the deductions we took.

This is all perfectly normal. Anyone who thinks it's a big deal is ignorant.

It doesn’t sound like you read the article. There’s tons of fraud in there over and above depreciation. Take Seven Springs as a tiny example. He’s calling that an investment property and claiming the relevant tax treatment of it when it’s clearly a personal residence.

Debt is mostly non-recourse on real estate, meaning the borrower doesn't have to pay it back if foreclosed upon. You people are just plain stupid - imrussia fail, impeach fail, covid fail, blm fail and now taxes fail

I have. That's a lot of depreciation, but that isn't the only issue on his returns. He has huge debts. This is what I always thought. It just reinforces my belief that he is actually broke on paper, staying just one step ahead his creditors.

Leverage, like depreciation, is part and parcel of anyone who is in real estate. You may as well blame a hokey player for having skates and a stick.

Yeah, I get it. So why did he hide it? You and I both know there only two reasons, one of which has just been confirmed and the other is under investigation by the DA.

Because he knows that ignorant people like many people in this thread would not understand and become useful idiots to Democrats looking to vilify him.

You also know that the partnership can do a 1031 exchange with another property and get the stepped up basis. You can also refinance the property and get the tax benefits and your investment back tax free.
