So. I finally read the NYT Trump tax story because I wanted to see what line was being reported for taxes owed and I came across this about the $750 in 2016 and 2017. Per the NYT own story, Trump actually paid to the US Treasury $1 million in 2016 and $4.2 million in 2017


quote:

Read that closely. Trump PAID, as in transferred to the US Treasury, $1 million in 2016 and $4.2 million in 2017. Note also that most of the overpayment was rolled forward, not refunded. The $750 figure is an ADDITIONAL $750. Thus every single story saying he paid $750 is a lie.


quote:

It is not simply a lie, it proves that the person making the statement either did not read the story itself (BY THE INSANITY OF CTHULHU READ THE SOURCES) or lack the mental ability to comprehend that the NYT itself claims that Trump paid $1,000,000 in 2016 and $4,200,00 in 2017.


quote:

The claim that Trump paid only $750 in Federal taxes in 2016 and 2017 is thus a complete and total lie which is easily disproven by the Times own story. I mind when people lie. I mind more when people lie to me about something I can disprove in minutes

The Dems and media know who they can manipulate with catchy lines like the $750.

Unfortunately for them those easily manipulated are already in the Biden basket.

None of this matters. He did nothing wrong.

This is all a consequence of our ridiculously complicated tax codes that benefit people with well paid accountants.

Such as myself

Did you see it? The years of employee compensation? So the NYT was given compensation information for people who are not Donald Trump. Yeah, that right there should make everyone spit fire from their eyes. What the hell right does the NYT have to employee compensation?

Both sides lie every damn day in order to appease their bases. It's ridiculous! I don't believe a word that comes out of either camp.

The NYT knows this. They also know that the average American thinks chocolate milk comes from brown cows, so they certainly cannot possibly understand how estimated payments and NOL carryforwards work.

If sleepy Joe brings this up in the debate, I am guessing the ‘gotcha’ moment is going to get re-routed right through his diaper and up his anus.

As a CPA, and I haven’t read the story or know anything about this, my first thought was “I wonder if they are talking about his total tax, or simply talking about the overpayment/refund.”.

It seems they are incompetent and if they don’t know how to read a tax return, they shouldn’t be reporting on it. Irresponsible and they know exactly what they are doing. They know the average taxpayer only pays attention to that refund number and they think that’s their taxes.

They make fun of Trump voters being uninformed and uneducated, yet here they are trying to misinform the public based the same.

Apparently, a lot of folks have never completed a tax return, and can't distinguish between taxes paid throughout the year and additional taxes due at return time.

NTY has absolutely no shame.

You know better than this. It was willfully misleading, not incompetence here.

I would be shocked if there is a debate.

Funny thing about this, I just watch some bald headed dude claim that paying only $750 is proof that DJT is only playing a business mogel and not actually one. That it cuts to the heart of his campaign 4 years ago.

Ok, few problems with that. DJT has a track record as President now. DJT has a big plane with his name all over it flying him all around the country. He owns properties and licenses his name all over the place. It is not like the dude is hurting for cash. DJT is exactly what he claims to be.

The media blatantly lying is something you should be able to focus on objectively without saying "both sides lie"
