Quote: RSThis is some straight up conspiracy theory level nonsense going on here. Really, just think about it -- you're saying (or projecting) that Trump has somehow illegally not paid federal taxes for however many years and somehow the IRS is oblivious to this? I don't know how many accountants are on Trump's staff, but I'm going to guess more than your average citizen, to say the least. That's gotta be one hell of a coordinated effort among everyone involved to keep quiet and not leak anything.
This shouldn't even have to be said, but in case people don't know -- there are things called tax breaks and subsidies. Sometimes you can offset losses against your profits (sometimes you can't). I'm not an accountant, but I'm pretty sure the goal is to pay as little in taxes as possible by using the tax code in your favor. Do you want to pay more taxes than you need to? You can also make your tax returns public if you want to....but are you going to do that if you don't have to?
I am sure he has filed returns and paid income tax.
I think he does not want to release them because he is not nearly as wealthy as he has led the public to believe.
The man is SCUM.
Quote: Steverinos
I'm not really sure, to be honest. WHICH IS WHY HE WON'T RELEASE THEM.
Far far more likely is that he gave
heavily to the Dems for years and
doesn't want the details coming
out. He's a NY Dem, who else
would he give to.
Quote: SteverinosMy problem is that it very well WAS legal.
Thank you. I'm not sure why that's a problem, though. Can you elaborate why you think it's a problem that he followed the law?
I assume you're being honest and aren't trying to get me to waste my time on this. It just feels weird to ask someone why they have a problem when someone follows the law, but here we are.

Nah, this isn't the damning information that he's hiding. If his conservative base doesn't know that he's flipped on his political affiliations in the past, then maybe he could shoot somebody on 5th Ave.
I did find it funny that THROUGHOUT the campaign, he would always say that politicians were "all talk, no action, all talk no action". He would constantly say it. And I always thought to myself, "well Donald, if they are all talk and no action, why did you continue to donate over and over and over again to them? Maybe you are just full of s**t"

I don't agree with the second sentence necessarily, but at least that's a more reasonable stance, IMO.
Quote: SteverinosQuote: AZDuffmanQuote: rxwineQuote: SteverinosInteresting you say that. Because when he admits in a presidential debate that paying no taxes "makes him smart", what is he saying about people like you that do pay taxes? Sounds like he's questioning your intelligence.
Nah...not DJT. He wouldn't have anything bad to say about his fellow Americans. Nah, not that guy.
First clue many of his voters are not all that smart, is his quip about shooting someone on 5th avenue and they would still vote for him.
First clue that the haters are not all that smart---that was a JOKE. To make a point.
The 5th ave thing was a joke. Paying no taxes wasn't.
But I agree. The point was to say that he could do or say anything and his supporters would still support him. That is holding true.
You're so smart that you seem to understand, nothing wrong=nothing wrong, is a mistake. Can you express your thought process on this?
Quote: Steverinos
I'm not really sure, to be honest. WHICH IS WHY HE WON'T RELEASE THEM. All I know is that he admitted that paying no federal income taxes made him smart.
We must be all idiots, i.e., not smart...contributing to society the way we do.
The man won't show his taxes to his employees, the American people, but conservatives are pretty quick to allow him to make decisions about OUR taxes. That makes about as much sense as Donald's only know tax bills...ZERO.
As suspected, you have no idea what you are talking about regarding his taxes. Here is a news flash for ya-----minimizing taxes is the goal. The less you can legally pay the smarter you are.
I work with all independent contractors. Minimizing taxes is a huge thing. I tell the younger and newer folk to deduct everything they can. Computer, cell phone, mileage, whatever they can. Why? Because smart people minimize their taxes.
BTW: I am not his "employee." Yes, he can make tax decisions as that is his job as POTUS. His taxes are his personal business.

I assume you're being honest and aren't trying to get me to waste my time on this. It just feels weird to ask someone why they have a problem when someone follows the law, but here we are.
First off, we don't know that he followed the law. He won't release the returns. And if we are supposed to believe him and take him at his word, Muauahahahahahaha, then he's under an IRS audit, right? So if he's still under audit, then we can't possibly know if he DID follow the law because the audit(s) haven't been completed.
But to answer your question, it's because I think the tax code is broken and has been written to greatly benefit the few and not the whole. And Trump was exactly right when he made the comment to Hillary in the same debate where he implied that politicians like her were responsible for the tax code that enabled him to get the benefits he's enjoyed. "She has given it to us." We'd have to go back at the legislation record to see what tax legislation she actually voted for or against, but I agree with the sentiment. Boomers have habitually cut their own taxes for 30+ years now.
But unfortunately, he's only doubled down on this and made it worse with his own tax reform.

Why, exactly, do you want to pay more in taxes?
Quote: AZDuffmanAs suspected, you have no idea what you are talking about regarding his taxes. Here is a news flash for ya-----minimizing taxes is the goal.
I don't?
Tell me where I'm wrong.
He took YUUUUGE losses in AC, YUUUUGE losses in the airline business, YUUUGE losses with the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, and was able to claim a tax deduction for the foreseeable future, up to 18 years, on those losses, allowing him to pay ZERO taxes during that time.
Do I fault him for doing this? I don't. Seriously, I really don't. We all want to minimize our tax bill. I fault the system for allowing a conman to leave a trail of ruin and then benefit. It's fundamentally wrong.

It is called the way business works. Sometimes you take losses. Some businesses fail. He is not the only one to take a loss in AC and certainly not the only one in the airline biz. But look how many jobs he created and maintained over all that time.
If you do not allow business to take credit for losses then less business will happen.
No offense, but you really need to learn how taxes work and how business finance works. You seem to think it is like getting paid on a W-2. It is not.
Quote: SteverinosHe could settle this debate by being transparent and releasing his returns. He has made the political calculation that whatever is in them is more damning than the political damage he would tax if he released them. That should pique your interest. But whatever...
Only the crazy lefties seem to care. And if he releases them then they will just find something else to whine about.

You didn't mention where I was wrong, but said I need to learn. Funny, but whatever, I'll give you that. I'm not an expert (I do, however, trust the experts). What I do know is that Trump is hiding something in his returns that is pretty terrible. He doesn't even want his base to know what's in them. Speaks volumes.
We'll see what the Ways and Means Committee end up doing.

You say you are not an expert, but you "know" he is hiding something. IOW, because you hate him, he must be hiding something in his taxes. That is the whole basis of your argument.
Not only are you not an "expert" but you appear to be someone who does not even do their own taxes.
Thanks for the evening of entertainment.

He is hiding something. He's the only presidential candidate in 40 years to not release. This isn't difficult.

That wouldn't be on your taxes. Those who receive that money have to report it, whether by name or anonymously, but campaign contributions are not tax deductible.
From the Cohen testimony he had no problem inflating or deflating numbers to illegally gain bank loans
I can see him extending this tactic to his taxes so he deflates income, pays what he rightfully owes AS REPORTED but is in essence cheating by not paying what he didnt report
Quote: RSThis is some straight up conspiracy theory level nonsense going on here. Really, just think about it -- you're saying (or projecting) that Trump has somehow illegally not paid federal taxes for however many years and somehow the IRS is oblivious to this?
My premise that he is not the man he says he is does not matter whether he did anything illegal. His taxes should match his interviews and books on what he claims. I consider it a creditability issue.
Yes, he probably did some shady stuff to minimize his taxes. Yes, some of it was probably illegal.
But that’s not why he doesn’t want people to see them. He has a 24/7 propaganda news network that would convince the plebes that cheating on your taxes is cool and no big deal.
He doesn’t want to show his tax returns because they’ll show he’s not as rich as he’s claimed to be for decades.
And to those who say his tax returns won’t show how rich he is: BULLS**T. Experts could figure out his wealth by combing through the returns, especially someone like Donald who’s returns are extremely complex.

It goes further. Trump's entire empire has depended on the branding. What he sells is himself as rich, successful, living the good life. There are many profiles out there, loan applications, valuations for many different purposes. People invested in him because of his apparent (self-reported) wealth and success. Those people included banks and private capital groups.
He would have released financial statements that he swore to be true and accurate as to the valuation of any property he put up as security against loans, purchases of other properties, other financial instruments. Many are public statements or documentation provided to boards or corporations.
If he then turned around and valued those properties or assets differently for income, property, or capital gains taxes, that can be fraud of many different types. Whether he overvalued them in order to build a house of cards, or undervalued them in order to pay less taxes than they were worth, any simultaneous disparities would be subject to civil action, perhaps criminal, depending on the deal.
At best, it would ruin his brand (which supposedly is the great majority of his wealth - renting/licensing his name to other owners or producers). It's sort of the businessman equivalent of a celebrity endorsement deal with Nike or Coke or whoever. If that celebrity gets caught with a dead girl or a live boy, the sponsors drop him.

So if he's still under audit, then we can't possibly know if he DID follow the law because the audit(s) haven't been completed.
You're right, we don't know if he followed the law. But just because "we don't know" if he followed the law or not isn't reason to think something nefarious is afoot. Right now, it looks much more like "He won't show us tax returns, therefore he did something bad!" than "Here's a discrepancy and that should be investigated." IOW: Someone is guilty of something because they don't want a cop to search their car, why else would they not want their car to be searched unless they had something to hide, right? Right????
I obviously don't know if he's under audit or what exactly that means, but again, Trump isn't gonna be some guy who just falls through the cracks of the IRS (unless the IRS is that incompetent, wouldn't be surprised tbh).

Well damn, why didn't you just say that from the start? All of this back-and-forth for the past 2+ years could have been avoided had we known what you know. Can you tell us what Trump is hiding that is so terrible?
If it doesn't matter to his base that he didn't release his taxes, why couldn't he be a man and say he wasn't going to do it, from the very beginning?

We don't have to know anything about Trump's taxes. All we had to do was listen to Michael Cohen's sworn testimony. There's stuff in Trump's taxes he doesn't want out there.
Cohen gave some indication as to why in public testimony, and perhaps, even probably, more specific reasons in closed session. Which opened the door to a legitimate inquiry. They may never tell us what it is, but they have oversight authority on the Executive, so they may have grounds to get them.

But who cares. You can't get rid of
him because he has good tax firms
that get him all the deductions. You
can't tell his net worth from his taxes,
you can't even tell how much he
made in a certain year because of
all he loopholes and deductions.
His tax return is over 300 pages
long, they say, It's just another
sour grapes witch hunt because
She didn't win.
Presidential returns are in a special
locked room in a safe. Not even the
IRS director can ask to see them.
-IRS Commissioner John Koskinen put measures in place that would require Trump's own lawyers to get permission to gain access to the confidential financial documents.
The decision of how to handle a request for Trump's returns will fall to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, one of the President's closest confidants and earliest backers. A Treasury spokesperson said Mnuchin would review any request for the president's tax returns with his general counsel to determine if they are required under law.
So when the committee asks for them,
Mnuchin will say no. Then the House
will demand them and Trump's lawyers
will sue. Lots of precedent for this,
Obama spent $34 mil in taxpayer money
suing to keep from releasing documents.
In the 'scandal-free' administration myth
he keeps bragging about.

Actually no, that does not count. I worked two years at Jackson-Hewett, where we used the same kind of software. All you do is answer questions. About 1/3 of us knew what was going on. Most of the rest were lumps who were brought on for "peak" which was the end of January when everyone got their W-2s and ran to the office to get their EIC refund and feed the local poverty-industrial complex. All they could do is read the questions and enter the W-2.
That is not "knowing how to do taxes." That is answering questions.

You are aware that corporations all the time report income and taxable income differently? Simply look at how AMZN paid no taxes last year by using carry forward of losses in prior years. Are you out there screaming that AMZN "cheated" on their taxes?
Reality is he does not want them out there because as soon as they are out there then liberals will just scream that he has to release some other form of information. He knows the games they play, and he is playing them better than they do. Which is driving the liberals nuts because they expect the Republican to obey and not defend themselves while their credibility is destroyed. That is what they did to Bush.

If he owns the organization then it is one and the same. Just like why dividends should be tax free. Pay at one level or the other, it does not matter.
Quote: DRichMy question is who among us would pay IRS taxes if you were not required to? I would not and my goal is always to pay as little as legally required.
It was state level I forget what state but they had a tax cut that the usual liberals said "they did not need." So the state set up the tax form so you could pay at the older, higher rate if you wished. Almost nobody did. Obama and Hillary who said they "did not need" the Bush tax cut never sent their tax cut back.
So to answer your question is I sure as heck would not pay a penny more than I was required to.

I'll make believe my net worth is $10,000,000. (I wish...)
$500K is my house.... not visible on my tax return.
$200k is my liquid bank account.... pays almost no interest, so no way to figure it's value from the $100 interest per year it generates.
$6,000k in IRAs, pension plans, etc. not visible on my tax return
Defined benefit pension which will pay me $100k per year when I retire, not visible on my present tax return.
A few million in a taxable account... some of the stocks pay dividends that you can back figure out the worth, many do not pay dividends so they do not appear on my tax return unless I sell them.
Whole life insurance policy... value $800k, not visible on my tax return.
Etc.....
What you can really see on my tax return is my income from my job, not much more. No way can you figure my net worth from my tax returns. I'm sure it is harder for a billionaire.

Yet, health insurance premiums are based on income reported on tax returns.😀
No consideration is taken regarding ability to pay. One person with access to a million dollars and no income pays $60 a month with $0 deductible while another person with a million dollars of debt and 200k in income pays $600 a month with a $7k deductible for the same exact plan.
