What NYT report tells us about Trump’s taxes — and what it doesn’t

Sep 28, 2020 


I n a phone interview with MSNBC, President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen said the findings are disgraceful. He is now disbarred and serving a three-year federal sentence for campaign finance violations, tax evasion, and lying to Congress.


Michael Cohen:


So, if I went to jail for 36 months on tax evasion, which probably should have been tax omission, Donald Trump should do 360 years.


David Cay Johnston:


Well, the reason Donald does not want you to see his tax returns is quite clear. He didn't pay taxes in many years.


And, secondly, there is a great deal of evidence in The Times' report Donald is not doing this through lawful tax avoidance, but he is engaged in tax evasion. That is not a new thing for the president. He had two civil trials for income tax fraud in the past, and he lost them, and a judge found that he had forged a document.


But the fact is that, in the majority of the years in this century, he paid no income taxes, and some of the taxes he paid for refundable taxes. In 2005, he paid about $36 million to something called Alternative Minimum Tax, which he got refunded in future years.


David Cay Johnston:


Trump can resolve all of these issues by just releasing his tax returns. At least release your 1040s, and let's see what's going on here.


税金の難しいところはわからんけど、いずれにせよ、トランプさんに分がありそうにもないがね・・・
