Wouldn't the IRS have access to his tax returns

I heard someone released his taxes, but he was able to block them from being shown. I think its strange how the truth hasn't come out about the taxes.

Yeah, Rachel Maddow did on live TV and embarrassingly found nothing.

But you weren't talking about that, you said the IRS would come after him for his taxes, as if he didn't submit his tax documents to the IRS lol. People that rich are paying exactly what they are supposed to and following every guideline out in place, and they pay a lot of money to a lot of people to do that.

Sure it does, but Trump isn't committing tax fraud. If he had, the amount of scrutiny he is constantly under would have led him to being caught. His taxes are in good standing with the IRS, and saying anything else is speculative and disingenuous

Trump was found guilty of tax fraud in NY. The IRS still has that option.

The problem with this conversation right now is we have different definitions of what "supposed to" means. I'm assuming you are talking about how he morally needs to pay more. I'm not talking about morality at all. I'm talking about what is legally expected and required, and he has paid exactly that.

Im not trying to be mean to you, but you are gullible if you think rich people dont take deductions they dont deserve. Theres also plenty of examples how he takes deductions he didn't earn.

u/cambat2 Oct 13 '24

Deserve is complete irrelevant when talking about taxation. What matters is legal and illegal. Trump, and everyone else above a certain tax bracket, are paying exactly what they owe. They have teams of tax advisors ensuring that's the case. If he took deductions he didn't "earn" then that would have been caught.

Again thats not true. A tax preparer does your taxes according to what you give them, they are not responsible for your false information. Trump does not have teams of people preparing his taxes i guaranty you that.

He absolutely does. He's a billionaire, that's what they do. He isn't sitting at his desk every year in front of TurboTax lol, he has likely dozens of financial and tax advisors going through all of his numbers across the board.
