Trump taxes: Did the billionaire businessman pay 'no income tax at all'?

An investigation by the New York Times has claimed that President Donald Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in 2016.

The President has dismissed the scoop calling it 'fake news', but is yet to produce any evidence to refute the claim.

He initially said he would release his tax returns during his first presidential run in 2016, after they were 'worked on.'

From 2016 to 2019 Mr Trump claimed that due to them being audited by the IRS - the American tax service - he could not make them public but would do so in the future.

He was the first major candidate since 1976 to not make any of his full tax returns public.

The issue is likely to surface during the Presidential Debate, with his opponent Joe Biden having published his own tax documents.

Impeachment? No!
Collusion? No!
Misogyny? No!
Racism? No!
Economy? No!
Appointing a female, with a diverse family, as head of supreme court? No!

Who wouldn't reduce the amount of income tax paid if they legally could? Anyone with sense, surely.

[rb-golf]

Let’s not forget that the state granted this to him all legal and by the book

Another 'Al Capone' in the making ?

[ayubm]

None of them pay taxes? That’s how they stay a billionaire

[meirwise]

Does he do his own tax returns? Doesn't he have qualified accountants to do his tax? Hillary should talk about emails and servers and taking money from Saudi Arabia to the Clinton Foundation to pay for her daughters wedding.

All the people in the comments with TDS do you not realize he would have been in jail long ago if what he did wasn't legal you know you don't pay taxes on net losses do you not understand how annualized debt works? Businesses can carry over losses into the next fiscal year limiting the taxes they otherwise have paid due to the aforementioned.

[alirazi]

When will people understand that they would not become a billionaire and that billionaires aren't they friends most of the time

[Mansempire]

So does this mean he broke any laws???
All that tells me is that he has excellent financial people around him.

[indricotherium]

Make America Great - but without a tax contribution from me thanks.

[joakimhahne]

If everyone payed as little as Trump in taxes, the US would go under. I leader like that just can't be the president.

[japfourme]

Something I heard about trump is that he takes no Salary for carrying out his presidential role. Surely that’s got to be worth something to the American tax Payer??!!
