Trump’s Brazen Tax Cheating Revealed

By David Cay Johnston, December 27, 2022

What's so bad about the following? One technique he used at least 26 times between 2015 and 2020 was as simple as it was flagrant. Trump filed sole proprietor reports, known as Schedule C, that showed huge business expenses despite having zero revenue. That created "losses" which Trump used to offset his income from work and investments, thus lowering his income taxes.

Trump knew this was unlawful because he lost two trials over his 1984 income taxes in which he did the exact same thing. Both judges, in scathing opinions, ruled that Trump committed civil tax fraud.

What Trump did again and again — taking expenses for businesses with no revenue — is so simple that jurors should have no trouble understanding the issues.

That Trump persisted in using the same fraudulent technique in six years of recent tax returns is powerful evidence of mens rea or criminal intent. This device is not Trump’s most lucrative tax cheating technique, but it is the easiest for jurors to understand should Trump be indicted on tax charges.

The 65 Schedule Cs Trump filed as a candidate and as president helped him convert a federal tax bill that should have been $46 million into a $2.1 million refund from the federal tax system.

If you want Trump as your President that is fine with me. You don't have to justify your vote by convincing me (or yourself) Trump didn't cheat on his taxes. Likewise, 6ix, you don't have to justify not getting vaccinated by convincing me (or yourself) that vaccines are dangerous. 6ix, believe whatever stupid thing you want and misunderstand everything. It is your right as an American!

Trump’s Taxes Are the Best Case Yet for Putting Him in Prison

Trump’s tax returns make a strong case for restoring the law that until 1924 made all income tax returns public. Newspapers back then ran long lists showing the income of and taxes paid by the wealthiest Americans.

Knowing that your income, deductions, and tax paid will be publicly available can do far more to encourage honest tax-paying than audits, which are increasingly rare and increasingly superficial.

Not even 500 of the nearly 25,000 households reporting incomes of $10 million or more in 2019 were audited. That’s 2 percent—just 1 in 50. Only 66 audits were completed.

People like Trump who earn money from legal sources can cheat like crazy on their tax returns with almost nothing to fear. That’s because fewer than 600 people at all income levels are convicted of tax fraud in a typical year.

That makes the odds of conviction about 1 in 275,000 taxpayers. But the odds for business owners are much better (which is to say less), because most people convicted of tax crimes are drug dealers, politicians who took bribes, or people who paid bribes.

The IRS, as funded by Congress, spent far more money auditing the working poor than the 24,457 households with incomes of $10 million and up in 2019. But don’t get angry at the IRS. They are just the tax police, enforcing the law as they are instructed by Congress. If Congress tells the IRS to focus on high-income tax cheating, it will.

A little-known reason the IRS rarely audits someone like Trump, even if there are indications of brazen fraud, is that if an audit will not raise any revenue immediately, it looks bad on IRS performance reports.

Consider a rich business owner who fabricates deductions but who would still owe zero tax in the audited year even if those deductions were denied. That means an audit that will not generate any tax revenue. That’s also what Trump apparently did in 26 sole proprietor, or Schedule C, filings in the six years of released tax returns.

Denying the immediate deductions may mean more taxes in future years, but the way the IRS measures audit performance, it doesn’t take future taxes into account. As a result, many working and retired IRS auditors have told me over the years, the IRS typically decides to audit other filers who are more likely to generate taxes immediately, allowing multi-year tax cheats to slip away.

One that sounds ALMOST FUCKING EXACTLY LIKE MINE when Democrats voted for 87,000 new IRS agents that are going to continue to terrorize the poorest people in this country while continuing to let the richest get away with paying nothing all the time.

You didn't seem to care then. I guess we finally got your attention, pig.

6ix, when you read a story such as the following, do you conclude that President Trump should fire at least half of all IRS workers because they aren't collecting enough tax? Trump should know because he's not paying all of his taxes.

IRS chief says $1 trillion in taxes goes uncollected every year

The U.S. government is losing some $1 trillion in unpaid taxes every year and needs more and consistent Internal Revenue Service funding to go after tax cheats, IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig said on Tuesday.

Rettig told the Senate Finance Committee that the “tax gap” -- the difference between taxes legally owed and revenue collected -- has grown substantially since the last official estimate of a $441 billion annual average from 2011 to 2013.

Trump's taxes are the finishing touch for a 'slam dunk' case in Manhattan over tax fraud:

In a column for the New York Daily News, Donald Trump biographer and business reporter David Cay Johnston claimed that if Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg plans to indict Donald Trump for tax fraud based on what he already has, the former president's recently released taxes filled in all the blanks he needs.

And yet, unlike your claims that you'll wait for things to run their course, you've already got him convicted and jailed in your mind. You said so yourself as a matter of fact:
"Trump has committed many felonies."
"Trump Going to Jail.".

There's no such thing with you as the American value of innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. You just can't wait for the actual, legal, US justice system to work its way to a conclusion before you lynch him.

You are one of the most anti-American people here.


And you can't quit your obsessive hate because your mind is diseased.

Fratta, now 65, is convicted of hiring men to kill his wife, Farah, in 1994 during a contentious custody battle over their three children. Multiple witnesses said Fratta had made comments about killing his wife or hiring others to do so throughout the divorce and custody fights.

Fratta has maintained his innocence over nearly 30 years, arguing almost all of the evidence against him relied on a single witness who testified in exchange for immunity from prosecution. He has pending appeals in the U.S. Supreme Court to further review his conviction.

In court, Harris County prosecutors argued Fratta hired Joseph Prystash and Howard Guidry, who shot Farah Fratta in the head in her garage weeks before the couple’s divorce was to be finalized. The two other men are also on death row.

Months after the murder, when Guidry was arrested for another offense, his neighbor Mary Gipp told police that he, Fratta and Prystash, her boyfriend, had also been involved in Farah Fratta’s death. Gipp said Fratta hired her boyfriend and neighbor to kill Farah Fratta in exchange for $1,000 and a Jeep.

Prystash and Guidry both later confessed to their role in the murder and implicated Fratta. Their statements at trial, however, led to Fratta’s first conviction being tossed since the prisoners did not testify themselves, preventing Fratta from his right to confront witnesses, courts ruled. He was again tried and sentenced to death largely based on Gipp’s testimony in 2009.

If courts rule against Fratta in appeals over his conviction and the lethal drugs Tuesday, he will be executed after 6 p.m. in a Huntsville prison.

Legal experts stunned by 'jaw-dropping' report on Barr, Durham protecting Trump

“When Durham unexpectedly found evidence of crimes committed BY rather than AGAINST Trump, he and Barr deliberately deceived the nation into thinking the opposite! This deep dive by the NYT is as jaw-dropping as anything I’ve read in the past decade,” Tribe says.
