NY Times obtains some of Trump’s tax records

Posted by | October 2, 2016 07:52 | Filed under: Politics


Someone must have leaked.

Donald J. Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns, a tax deduction so substantial it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years, records obtained by The New York Times show.

The 1995 tax records, never before disclosed, reveal the extraordinary tax benefits that Mr. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, derived from the financial wreckage he left behind in the early 1990s through mismanagement of three Atlantic City casinos, his ill-fated foray into the airline business and his ill-timed purchase of the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.

Tax experts hired by The Times to analyze Mr. Trump’s 1995 records said that tax rules especially advantageous to wealthy filers would have allowed Mr. Trump to use his $916 million loss to cancel out an equivalent amount of taxable income over an 18-year period…

The three documents arrived by mail at The Times with a postmark indicating they had been sent from New York City. The return address claimed the envelope had been sent from Trump Tower.

    He claims he was smart to not pay taxes. But to have a deduction that large, resulting from business losses, don’t you have to be pretty stupid? Do we want someone with almost a billion dollars in losses to be president? We know the answer to that.

    • Kevin October 2nd, 2016 at 09:03

      One has to remember that these are just the losses for 1995, with Trumps addiction to bankruptcy it must be assumed that there were substantial losses in other years as well. As said, this doesn’t strike me as the mark of a good business person.

  2. jybarz October 2nd, 2016 at 08:31

    That’s a lot of losses just for the year 1995… and he’s claiming to be a successful businessman?

    It smells very fishy having such a monumental losses. I hope he was fully and strictly audited then and from then on. But knowing him well now, he could easily and more likely bribe tax auditors.

    He’s very shady and a big con man who can never be trusted.

  3. oldfart October 2nd, 2016 at 08:34

    “a tax deduction so substantial it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years,”

    The operative word here is “legally”. The big problem I have with the wealthy folks is their warped sense of entitlement since they all paid ALOT of money to get those kinds of things written into the tax code for them and all…

  4. Larry Schmitt October 2nd, 2016 at 09:07

    When the Times contacted the Trump campaign, they said in part, ““Mr. Trump is a highly-skilled businessman…” He’s certainly not skilled at business. It seems the only thing he is skilled at is evading taxes.

    • Mensa Member October 2nd, 2016 at 10:02

      No kidding.

      He lost so much money in business that he has a permanent tax deduction.

      (at least that’s how I understood the article.)

    I think Trump is one of those type of folks who likes to fantasize about being a Mob Boss…he acts, sounds, and attempts to be a “tough guy”…he is emulating his real heros…Gotti, Putin, Khaddfi…yet, he fails in that….Let it be known, Trump is the Best At Failing…

    Trump claims the system is rigged and he’s going to fix it.

    But, he’s doubling down on the rigged system where rich people don’t pay their fair share of taxes.

    The financial burden of running this country weighs heavily on us working people and Trump’s tax plan makes rigs that system even worse against us.

  8. crc3 October 2nd, 2016 at 10:22

    Rump has proven (in the case of taxing) that rich people get all the breaks. Many don’t pay taxes year after year because of loopholes that are not afforded to the 99%. I honestly don’t think HRC will do much better either as much of her support comes from Wall Street bankers. No folks…the 99% will continue to lose and the 1% get richer by the day…

    • Larry Schmitt October 2nd, 2016 at 10:27

      And it’s because members of the 1% write the rules. Congressmen don’t look like Abe Lincoln anymore. If they’re not rich when they get there, the connections they make will soon make them rich. And a lot of them go into lobbying positions, where they can make even more money. All at our expense. What a country!

        • anothertoothpick October 2nd, 2016 at 11:00

          Two years ago I made a mistake on my tax return.

          I put a number on the wrong line.

          I paid the right amount of taxes but the IRS came after me anyway like I was Al Capone.

          In order to fix this I called them. The waiting list on the phone was two weeks. then I just went to the local office and could not find a parking spot and I was there two hours before they opened.

          I didn’t see any billionaires.

          • Larry Schmitt October 2nd, 2016 at 11:05

            The wait was two weeks because the Republicans have stripped most of the funding from the IRS, so they can’t hire staff, and the ones there now are swamped. You didn’t see any billionaires because they have “people” to do that for them. Assuming they get caught in the first place.

            • Hirightnow October 2nd, 2016 at 11:07

              We should just take all of the lawyers, put them on an island or in an enclosed area, and drop a pile of money into the middle…

          it will be up to the US Attorney and the Attorney General who can use their prosecutorial discretion to proceed or not.

          Trump is, as he is often keen to point out, NOT just ‘someone else’; he is running for the position of the most powerful entity in the world.
          We hold certain people to higher standards.
          Airline pilots, whose actions affect the people they transport, can’t be drunk in public.
          School teachers, whose actions affect our children, can’t act in ways deemed to be ‘immoral’.
          Politicians, whose actions affect our very lives and well-being, should expect, if anything, greater scrutiny than anyone else.

  11. Red Mann October 2nd, 2016 at 10:52

    The real question is did that $916 million come out of his personal pocket or were they corporate losses paid by others?

    • Larry Schmitt October 2nd, 2016 at 10:54

      Of course he didn’t lose that much personally, it was business losses.

      • Red Mann October 2nd, 2016 at 10:56

        So why is it on his personal tax return? Don’t corporations have tax forms?

        • Larry Schmitt October 2nd, 2016 at 11:02

          Line 11, which is Rental real estate, Royalties, Partnerships, S corporations, Trusts, etc., is -$15.8 million. Without the attached schedules, we don’t know exactly what that is, but evidently some business related losses can be claimed on a personal return. The big number -$900 million, is “other” and is on another schedule.

      As a society, we need…no, we REQUIRE rules, especially when it comes to privacy.
      Certain things need to be private; that guy who screwed up when he was 15, or that girl who was somewhat “friendly” when she was the same age, shouldn’t have that held against them in their 30s. The past is the past.
      But it affects who we are now.
      People grow. They change. I’m not that punk child from the 70s, that misguided fool from the 80s, that lost soul from the 90s, or that loster idiot from the 00s.
      I’ve grown, I like to think.
      But I’m not running for office.
      Were I to do so, I would fully expect people to bring up those times that I passed out drunk in bushes, the times that I screamed publicly at my relatives, possibly some usage of chemicals…even that episode with the underage goat that Dad’s lawyers had to suppress….nevermind
      I didn’t walk that path. I have neither the inclination nor the patience for public service. My previous actions will, therefore, have little bearing on the lives of others.
      But…
      Trump chose this path.

      I think the NYT lawyers are already gearing up for a great legal ruling on the 1st Amendment. Nothing illegal about checking your mail box – or – sharing your mail with others if it’s been sent to YOU.

      just like e-mails, you don’t have any control over what is being SENT to you – you can leave it or just throw it away – if somebody else finds it – it becomes their property to do whatever they want with it.

      sort of like a blue dress.

      The problem is, Section 469 of the tax code gives advantages to people who manage real estate. Losses related to real estate can be used to offset other income, much more so than other types of losses. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/one-theory-of-why-trump-is-hiding-his-tax-returns/2016/09/29/4ee56ee4-858d-11e6-a3ef-f35afb41797f_story.html

      Not right. I remember the time and this occurred shortly after the huge tax increase by Clinton that set the country back, considerably. It wasn’t until Clinton started flooding the market with money from the Fed, an action usually reserved for a severe recession, that the so called Clinton economy took off, only to be followed by the last 20 years of depression due to his failed policy and the effect of his and Barney Frank pushing the banks to stupid loans. Get your facts straight and not those from Camelot.

          Now big O what you have just posted makes little sense in what we are discussing. Clinton had a Rep congress that set the budget. Bush, a liberal, had a Dem congress in the later years. The fact is that the depression we are in was caused by housing rule by Clinton and Barney Frank manipulating the financial system that resulted in the huge credit crisis.

              I am afraid I have had several eco courses. The concern you are talking about is not money supply but the state of the economy. In the mid 90s there was a significant crash in commercial realestate likely triggered by the crash in Japan. Many high rollers lost everything. Now get off the internet and read real books. Clinton’s economy was the result of Reagan and his infusion of excess money in the system as well as the textbook. Bush actually inherited a recession that was compounded by 9/11 and was just recovering when Barney Franks pressure on the banks crashed the system. And yes we are in a expressionist real unemployment at about 20% and most under employed.

              And perhaps you have not been paying attention to the fact that Obama has been infusing trillions of dollars into the economy and nothing has happened. The model that you are using is called Keynesian economics and has been proven wrong every time. FDR did not fair well with this model and the great depression of the 30’s only ended when they abandoned the model and went with Adam Smith. Obama has tried the same thing and our economy is in a shambles. It don’t work.

            See, when you make bald-faced revisionist-history claims (wasn’t Reagan conservative? GHW carried on most of his policies. Appointed Clarence Thomas. If you are talking about the little shrub, he stated repeatedly he was a conservative. Are you saying that a Republican president lied about being a conservative and STILL took the conservative vote?)

            The conservative movement has lurched so far to the right, that anything approaching moderate in Republican circles is now “liberal.” Like a ruler where inch markers 6 through 12 are in the last actual inch of the ruler.

            sometimes there’s an advantage to being on the outside looking in – you are a misinformed manipulated fool and sad don’t even know it. Why you bother seems a mystery unless you are just thrilled to be exposed as an illiterate.

              “…thrilled to be exposed…” well, that makes him feel special. he is, as don the con would say, “poorly educated.”

              Fahvel,
              I didn’t know that a superior individual would be reading my comments, I most certainly would not have posted something that would offend your greatness. Now, to reality, one of us is very ignorant and stupid and the other knows what is going one, I would bet that you are not as great as you think you are, but you can’t help it when your mother keeps telling you are so special.

            Bush was never a liberal. He was slightly to the left of the John Birch Society and the Confederacy that have taken over the GOP now.
            The fact is that the depression we are in was caused by the deregulation of the financial sector via the over leveraged banks and was seen as the perfect investment.

            The demand for mortgage backed securities so that there was a point somewhere in 2003 when everyone who qualified for a mortgage got one, and still the global pool of money wanted more AND the fact that rating agencies blessed most of the risky mbs with AAA rating.

              old,
              Every bit is wrong. There are several books you can read about the subject, try it.

              • OldLefty October 3rd, 2016 at 16:28

                I have.
                I followed it closely since the 2000’s.

                Remember when LTCM fell?
                And….
                “To sum up, the need for U.S. government regulation of derivatives instruments and markets should be carefully re-examined. The application of the Commodity Exchange Act to off-exchange transactions between institutions seems wholly unnecessary–private market regulation appears to be achieving public policy objectives quite effectively and efficiently.”
                -Remarks by Chairman Alan GreenspanGovernment regulation and derivative contracts At the Financial Markets Conference of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Coral Gables, Florida February 21, 1997
                http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/speeches/1997/19970221.htm

                Then;
                “Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholder’s equity (myself especially) are in a state of shocked disbelief.”
                House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Oct 2008

                Remember The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999?
                That dismantled GlassSteagal which had prohibited bank holding companies from owning other financial companies such as investment, commercial banking, and insurance companies. GLBA ignited a wave of mergers and hampered government regulators charged with preventing conflicts of interest and risky financial behavior.

                Remember Ghetto loans?
                In 2009 Wells Fargo loan officer Beth Jacobson spilled the beans spelling out how she and her co-workers systematically singled out African-Americans in Baltimore and suburban Maryland for high interest subprime mortgages.
                Loan officers, she said, pushed customers who could have qualified for prime loans into subprime mortgages. Another loan officer stated in an affidavit filed last week that employees had referred to blacks as “mud people” and to subprime lending as “ghetto loans.”

                Recently, former banker James Theckston relayed a similar story of predatory lending at Chase. As regional vice president for Chase Home Finance he recalls how employees intentionally lured minority buyers into more costly and risky subprime mortgages.

                “…… some account executives earned a commission seven times higher from subprime loans, rather than prime mortgages. So they looked for less savvy borrowers — those with less education, without previous mortgage experience, or without fluent English — and nudged them toward subprime loans.

                These less savvy borrowers were disproportionately blacks and Latinos, he said, and they ended up paying a higher rate so that they were more likely to lose their homes. Senior executives seemed aware of this racial mismatch, he recalled, and frantically tried to cover it up.”
                http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/07/us/07baltimore.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1

                Betcha don’t.

                Step out of the bubble for a change.

      trump, the gop candidate for POTUS who REFUSES to release his CROOKED TAX RETURNS, his 5 minute drive through complete medical physical, his school transcripts, his ‘public’ divorce records or even his 3rd wife’s immigration papers is a spineless dodger.

      he dodged the military draft (7X)
      he dodged paying taxes
      he dodged responding to questions about outrageous LIES
      he dodged the truth
      he dodges any responsibility for his actions

      and he’ll do the exact same thing if he were to be elected POS. (president of some)

      KEEP AMERICA GREAT

      DUMP TRUMP
      and his cheap spontaneous combustion imports.

      The model airplane on Joe Kernans desk is an RA5C Vigilante. It was an incredibly complex yet capable aircraft. It was unarmed and flew photo recon missions. It was so difficult to land on a carrier, Junior officers were seldom seen flying the vigilante. It’s ejection survivability statistics were dismal. Even though it looked like it was going 1000 mph just sitting on the deck, it was a maintenance nightmare. I recall a figure of 138 man hours for each flight hour. Men like Joe, and what they endured before and after capture are precisely why I installed a Trump filter in my conscience the moment Cheeto-Benito called a POW a loser for getting shot down.

    So, Trump lost money in 95 then came back better than ever. That is a good story to show what can be done. Now, lets discuss the fact that Hillary is a liar, crooked, corrupt, incompetent and seriously ill.

      giuliani and trump could sell you their sh*t in a bag labeled as the new gold standard and idiots like you would pay double the price – each and every time.
      HONEST HILLARY (who has NEVER had any formal LEGAL charges brought against her) is in a lot better physical condition than the orange toad obese crumpface.

      Beyond the 7 yr audit So he lucked out but somehow the math doesn’t add up why he claims to be a billionaire today.

      I think his lawyers are keeping the hand cuffs off Donald by telling him no to release his tax forms like the previous presidents have done for the last 45 yrs

    • bpollen October 3rd, 2016 at 00:50

      That is a good story to show what can be done.

      Yeah, two bankruptcies, Trump Steaks failure, GoTrump failure, Trump Airlines failure, Trump Vodka failure, Trump Mortgage failure, Trump Magazine failure, Trump Ice failure, Trump on the Ocean failure, the Trump Network failure, 2 additional failed casinos, Success by Trump and Empire by Trump failure (Trump colognes,) and, the piece de resistance, Trump University!!!

      Horatio Alger would be laughing his ass off about this “rags to riches” trope.

    • whatthe46 October 3rd, 2016 at 01:00

      lost 1 billion and you think he’s an economics expert with 4 + bankruptcies? dude, he was so right and so on point when you called you idiots “poorly educated.” fun fact, when he called you that, you CHEERED! can’t make this sh!t up. oh goodness, i’m laughing so hard. [tears, whew. chuckling.]

    tRump supporters will never get rich like him or live in a penthouse like him or sit in a limo like him but they will always be as foolish like him. have at it troll.

    I always enjoy reading about tricky math even if I don’t understand it

    This shows how the tax laws are stacked in favor of the rich.

  20. Gary Parillo October 2nd, 2016 at 18:10

    This is what Steve Rosenthal,of the tax policy center stated,”Mr. Trump is a spectacular loser.Thats why we need to see his tax returns.Was he really losing money that spectacularly,or ginning up losses through accounting maneuvers?” Seems to me that’s a damn good question from an expert,and may explain why he is still afraid to show the tax statements.Trump himself has made this the issue it has become.
