The maneuver began when Trump's businesses borrowed money from banks to purchase the Plaza Hotel in New York and his casinos in Atlantic City. Neither Trump nor his businesses owed taxes on the cash infusion because the tax code doesn't consider debt to be taxable income.

If the bank forgives the loan, however, then the amount that is forgiven does count as income under federal law. A canceled debt is equivalent to a gift from the bank, and it is subject to income taxes.

That is what happened to Trump. When the casino and hotel investments failed catastrophically, Trump's businesses declared bankruptcy, and his creditors were forced to forgive much of the debt.

“He borrowed other people's money and spent it in spectacular fashion,” Rosenthal said.

From the point of view of Trump's income, it all came out in the wash. He had lost a lot of money, but he had also persuaded the banks to write down what he owed them, a gift that largely...wiped out his losses.

Trump then claimed on tax returns that he had lost the money, but he did not acknowledge the income in the form of canceled debts.
He likely did not have to pay taxes on that money, which totaled at least $425 million, Rosenthal estimates based on his review of the documents obtained by the Times. (a tax free $425 million...precious)

Anyone even know what a bankruptcy is ?

A bankruptcy is a legal estopment on your creditors taking action to collect on what you owe them. You still owe them. That does not change, the winning of the bankruptcy simply stops them from suing you or attaching your wages or property. People who do not know that have no business arguing the subject because that is one of the basic umber one facts that an attorney will tell you if yyou ever use that particular legal tool.

I want to see paperwork where these banks "forgave" those loans. They do not do that. I fact, after a bankruptcy you can usually borrow money almost right away because they know you can't file again for seven years. He filed corporate bankruptcies concerning businesses that were already going under ad liquidated them, pocketing a few bucks in the process. You didn't bitch when Romney did it to companies that did make money and employ people.

And another thing, why should any of them disclose their taxes ? What, you vote for the richer one or the poorer one ? Bunch of shit. I would rather know why Obama's past is so closely guarded, like his GPA. Ad I am well past any birth certificate shit, I would vote for Putin at this point but of course he cannot run. If that fucker would really be loyal to this country he would be the best thing ever happened, but he won't, and can't run anyway so it is a moot point. Actually Obama did a few things right, but the ACA was not among them. That thing is so fucked up, if Trump gets elected and a congress sends him a bill to fix it he is going to need a team of people to read all the gobbletygook.

Anyway, banks do not just forgive loans. If they did, indeed it should be taxable, but I need proof it happened. We are talking about people who will pay out a $3 overdraft and charge you $300 for it, ad who bribe companies to force you to take direct deposit to get paid for work, or even welfare in some cases so you have to pay. Why didn't they just refuse to pay the draft ? They make more money that way.

They are the type of motherfuckers who will tell you to default on your house payment to qualify for a refi and then foreclose. And then you can show up in court with the cash, the full amount and all penalties ad everything and they refuse to accept it and when asked will say "We'll make more money selling the house". THIS HAS HAPPENED.

I will not disclose my taxes, I do not pay them. I do not owe them under the law. I know this argument has happened before but i am still here. they know right where I am. I have been offered $30 an hour and free transportation to and from work which would mean 96 miles a day for them. I turned it down. So get the idea here that I am not a burger flipper.

If I could feel anymore I would feel sorry for burger flippers. They get fucked, not paid enough and treated like shit. I would be for a higher wage for them as long as it is based on how many burgers they flip. Like the gross of the company or whatever. You have to let the owner make a profit or there will be no companies, in fact now that I mention that, it is happening ain't it.

The 65-story Trump International Hotel & Tower Toronto has all the glitz and ambition of the luxury-brand businessman with his name in giant letters near its spire. It’s the tallest residential skyscraper in Canada, and probably the fanciest. The hotel’s sleek cream-and-black interiors were inspired by Champagne and caviar. Every room features Italian Bellino linens and Nespresso coffeemakers. Guests can book a Trump Experience outing through the Trump Attache concierge service. Their furry friends are eligible for the Trump Pets program, which “will fill your best Fido’s tummy with gourmet treats, and see them off to sleep on a plush dog bed.”
This Trump-branded and Trump-managed jewel is also, as a business venture, a bust.
Story Continued Below
On Tuesday, a Canadian bankruptcy judge placed the glass-and-granite building into receivership, just four years after Trump and his children cut the ribbon at its grand opening. Once it’s auctioned off, whether or not Trump is the leader of the free world by then, his name may well vanish from its marquee.
Trump is not the project’s developer or even an investor; one of his partners, a Russian-born billionaire who got rich in Ukraine’s steel industry, controls the firm that’s in default. The Trump Toronto is still a posh hotel, and even though nearly two thirds of the tower’s condo units remain unsold, they’re still upscale residences. Still, the saga of the property’s glittering rise and rapid fall is classic Trump, featuring a tsunami of litigation and bitterness, money with a Russian accent, and a financial wreck that probably won’t hit its namesake particularly hard.
Trump has vowed to run the country the way he runs his businesses, and Trump Toronto is yet another reminder that his businesses do not always run smoothly. Even before the bankruptcy, the Trump Organization was already mired in litigation over management issues with the project’s owner, Talon International—led by Alex Shnaider, the steel magnate who is perhaps better known for buying a Formula One racing team and hiring Justin Bieber to sing at his daughter’s Sweet Sixteen. The project also faced lawsuits filed by middle-class investors who claim they were suckered into buying time-share-style units in the hotel with wildly overstated projections of Trump Toronto’s performance. Now it’s in receivership, which will produce new ownership and, quite possibly, a new brand.

"Trump has vowed to run the country the way he runs his businesses,"

Well then he contradicted himself because last I heard he said that he would not do as President what he did in business.

But then one could ask if Clinton is for or against Gay marriage.

First you mix in personal bankruptcy as if that is a factor here and it isn't but then claim to know so much about how banks deal with a business borrower's bankruptcy and are way off base.

First of all, under such business bankruptcies banks do in fact do what's called 'write down' loans adjudicated in court. That means they 'wrote down' $425 million of Trump's business debt. Upon that write down, that money then becomes income to Trump's business.

As the link describes, any amount forgiven or written down in such a loan is money received and spent by the borrower and no longer subject to being repaid. It thus becomes taxable. Trump then claims that in exchange for that write down, the banks got worthless paper otherwise known as a partnership share in an otherwise...bankrupt business.

So there is no paperwork we need to see, we have all of the pertinent facts and BTW, that 'loophole' was closed as the link said, in 1984 and this bankruptcy occurred in 1995, so Trump could have easily been prosecuted for tax evasion or at least hit with a judgment for it.

T8r, the rest of what you have is not on point and more of your rambling on. Your last few comments are just more about the concept now having taken over your so called right wing and the modern conservatism we find in America in that the economy need not serve all of the people.

In America, we can eat cake now as a matter of the for-profit, vulture capitalist society and yes, people did go on substantially about how that's exactly was Romney was, did and nobody is to give a fuck about the poverty and ruined lives as a result.

You want the net of it ? We are talking about a species whose first 'progressive' achievement for the survival of [it] was slavery over cannibalism. Then once mankind formed cities-states, created govt. that sanctioned private property and coins (money) and...we got much more easily satisfied greed. Then if that greed means that in our modern for-profit society, if you need to get fucked...you will get fucked. Just hope to have some Vaseline on hand.

Thanks for that. Now I see what they are fighting about and it is the same old shit. It is "WE WANT MORE MONEY" vs "I ALREADY PAID YOU MOTHERFUCKERS" or some variant thereof. So some of this income from what actually was written off by the banks was not declared. Do I got that right ?

If I was ever that rich I would just pay the fucking taxes. If I ever got audited I would drag my accountants in with me because he certainly does not do his own taxes, he just signs at the bottom. With flipping all those businesses and the lawsuits I would not even consider doing my own taxes.

I am not saying he is god's gift or anything of the sort, he is less of a criminal than Hillary Clinton. People fight the IRS all the time and that is enabled by the ridiculously complex tax code. A while back, couple jobs ago my boss had his own personal IRS agent. He wasn't even grossing a million a year. He was a small target.

Anyway, I have not looked at Clinton's taxes, even though I guess they are available. Know why ? I do not care what people do with the IRS.

But now I have another question.

This is in court, right ?

That is the only way there would be any public information because the IRS is forbidden to disclose anything, even that a investigation is going on.

Much as he is in court, the guy should have just become a lawyer. But then you know when you got deep pockets, they crawl out of the woodwork.
