Lots of “something illegal” detailed in the article. You should read it.

The NYT doesn't have a good record. I guess Trump doesn't have to release his taxes since the NYT has them, lol!

Even Rachel M. showed his 2005 tax return which didn't back up any allegations. To her credit she actually showed the viewers the product.

For whatever record the NYT may have, Trump has told over 25,000 documented lies, and for some reason, people like you believe him still.

The government has not worked out anything with Trump, because the dispute over his audit is still sitting in the offices of the joint tax committee. They have not adjudicated it.

JTC plays no role in audit.

Portions of Trump's refunds are before the JTC. That is because Title 26 (I don't remember the section) mandates that all refunds in excess of 10 million dollars be forwarded to the JTC. The thinking in enacting this was not to "adjudicate" or "approve"anything. It is so the JTC could figure out where they had miswritten the law. Large refunds like those tend to suggest the laws aren't working as intended.

So...if he is taking exceptions and deductions as allowed by the current tax law, I don’t understand what the complaint is.

Taxes are complicated. What someone salaried at 70k per year pays can’t be compared to what he pays because he has lost millions and invested millions in businesses which stimulate economy and add growth.


Unless he is doing something illegal, it is all just election smack talk. If he is doing something illegal, the IRS and criminal justice system will handle it. They haven’t. So...fair to say it is election smack talk.

He's the president who signed into law a massive tax reform bill that helps people like him avoid paying taxes. What this shows is that regular working Americans who pay thousands in income taxes every year are chumps.

And his massive debts are a big problem. As others have said, it would prevent most people from getting a security clearance. Should that not be a basic, minimum level qualification for a president? To be able to get a security clearance?

He has been audited a lot? He's been fighting that audit with everything he has, for a very long time.

The report actually revealed what the audit is about. He dclared a $1b loss from his Atlantic City casino and then used that to claim a $72m refund. It was almost legal except that he got a 5% stake after bankruptcy which means he couldn't claim the loss. He's been refusing to settle since then because once the mater is settled then it becomes public record. He also do any have the cash to pay the IRS back.

That’s a whole lot of tax fraud.

Are they waiting for him to leave office to go after him on this or is it still tied up in audit?
