Merci pour votre transparence et honnêteté ❤️🇨🇦💙

Yeah !! That’s a guy that cares about his country !!!

What happen to 12 mil in speaking fees, someone’s been cheating on the taxes

Paid a 31% tax rate, not too smart.

Well-done Mr Biden. So Trump is a fraud, going by this tax issue.

From what .. isn’t he supposed to be a former president and earning $400000 a year?...

good man. ethical

BREAKING: declassified- •handwritten notes, frmr CIA Brennan briefed President Obama including the ‘alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal to vilify Trump by stirring up scandal claiming interference by Russian security services

Turbo Tax 👍

fintwit_news Really. What a joke the 2of them are.

Did he release 2013-2018

realDonaldTrump can give him the name of a tax accountant

fintwit_news Who would be stupid enough to pay so much taxes when there are so many loopholes to avoid them. Does he care about Money? That is the question American people need to ask. Will he choose people or 💰.

fintwit_news Biden sucks dead wind.

How the F did she get a million dollars?

losers

Million a year and never had a real job.

That’s called not lying on your tax return.

How does a retired politician and a teacher make $900k+ in a year?

Trump paid $38mm in taxes a few years ago. Benefits of the tax system, owning businesses and assets, you can take losses when you need it.

You guys are hiding Biden family corruption!

They need trumps tax team. They have no smarts at all

What the New York Times and the biden campaign are doing is what the democrats calls collusion....

Should buy some real estate so she can use the depreciation as a write off.

Oooo oooo. Now do hunter.

Where is the money from China?

Income statementa only tell a portion of the story. What is his net worth?

CNBC virtual signaling for Biden. Big surprise.

$bradmontgomery24 I can use help with college costs including gas money to get there, internet service, and other necessities. I’m disabled but I think I can learn if I have help. I want to be a psychiatrist to help others like me.

So a professor and a “public servant” politician make $78,000 a month?

Still collecting payolla from his time in office?

So. What about Hunter Biden

What'd Hunter make?

Getting money from Russia and China

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha.....

$944 of income that was paid for by taxpayers. And only gave $14,700 in charity or 1.5%.

Life long politician make a 1M a year while not accomplishing anything over a 50 year career? What a guy!

Our Great President...

Nice salary for a career gov employee.

Just one year! Where is is son’s income tax return?

That is sad. Flat tax for all Trump2020

I’ll take the one that paid 750.00!! TO RUN MY COUNTRY...THANK YOU💰💰💰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

School teachers do ok I guess. 🙄

So

Drugged

We would like to see ten years of taxes. And Hunters

31% tax ? Needs a better accountant.

47 years in office really paid off for him. I'm in the wrong field.

Joe Biden claimed 17 million in income from book sales in 2017-18. Now his book sold 300K copies at $5 - $10 a piece (Amazon Price). Most of his book purchases were by shady characters who purchased it in bulk and gave it away. How did he amass $17M? Anyone wants to investigate?

BIDEN PAID Taxes worth 75% of Donald’s presidential salary in 2019

Right on! He paid more then me. I was feeling like an H&R chump there for awhile. No Joe, I don’t care to know you’re secrets or accountants details. We need another book 📚 entitled: The Great Tax Escape! 🎺

That’s about 38,000% more that what realDonaldTrump paid in taxes

Joe Biden doesn't own corporate entities. He's a public servant. Highest tax rates are personal, not corporate. It will never be the inverse.

How about Hunter Biden🤪🤪

Bullshit! Trump has been donating his $400k a salary every year, and employs thousands of people at his businesses. More than Biden will ever do. TRUMP 2020! ❤️ 🇺🇸

Do Hunters next!

I want to see his offshore account records.

Senator Harris needs a financial adviser. $1 in dividends & $241 in capital gains? Where do they put their $3 million in annual income? Also a penalty for underpaying estimated tax by $432,000. $3M 'Business/Prof expenses' (not detailed) knocked their gross from $6.3M to $3.1M.

He doesn’t have anything to hide,not like Donnie.

I think they should be more interested Biden’s son that’s where the money as been laundered though

Where are Hunters Tax returns for: $3.5 million from Moscow $8 Million from Ukraine $1.5 BILLION from China BidenBillions BidenCrimeFamily

What is the relevance of tax returns being released? Transparency is good I get that, is there something I’m missing though?

I hope he loses )))

We are watching 👀 .........

Who cares 🤡🤡

And plans on emending them after the election

Doesn't explain how a politician on a limited salary for 47 years has so many assets.

So exactly how does a public servant make millions? No corruption here...move along, don’t ask questions.

Excellent Move Biden, Surely now Trump will release his Taxes where he paid ZERO!! after writing off 500K in Oreo Cookies, 72K in Hair Care, 1.5 Billion in Consulting fees to Ivanka.... Dear Lord!

So we know what one topic will be.

Who cares about Joes taxes

Perhaps we can learn some tips. Lol

Forget 2019, we want 10 years of taxes and Hunters plus all the s-corporations they opened Corruption

His tax returns should be made public, as with every person in any office from mayors up to the president.

How much taxable income would Joe have if he didn't take his salary donated it, and got a rebate/write-off for the donation made!?

Less than 2% in charitable donations

Lee_DaVinci Let’s see what flowed to Hunter now?

Americans are so strange

theboombooms317

Didn’t Trump also donate his salary as President? Hasn’t Trump lost money since in office amidst all the ridicule? Hasn’t the Biden’s profited significantly off of the tax payers? Haven’t both followed legal loopholes? Context please. Moving on to the debates!

Ok? Well is he taking a drug test?

Now do the money funneled through Hunter. Meanwhile here is who Trump owes Money to since you're not smart enough to look it up.

So is it Sleepy Joe or Greedy Joe...

Political activism in effect

Didn’t President Trump also elect NOT to be paid a salary during his presidential role?

Who cares

Releases tax return, won’t agree to be checked for ear piece. Isn’t it time for oatmeal and nap?

Who is showing up for the debates tonight sleepy Joe or the guy they’re going to have stand in for him? Trump 2020

Done highlighting please. I don’t want to read through all that shit !!

Another coordinated hit job from the terrorist organization known as the Democrats. Hey, CNBC, why dont you ask where Hunter Biden's taxes are?

.015% Given to Charitable Contributions Kamala Harris Her and her Millionaire Husband also donated .01% to Charity.

Release Hunter's becoming super rich magic, please

What a difference

The link only gives you Kabala’s taxes.

I'm afraid Joe also used Tax Loopholes: Biden routed his book and speech income through S corporations. He avoided the 3.8% self-employment tax had they been compensated directly instead of through the S corporations.

You made a million dollars & gave only $14700 to charity?! Yikes, c'mon man

No one cares.

Its interesting the very people who gave Trump all these tax breaks he gets are the sam people who voted for it and use it the same way he does. Oh the hypocrisy of the left. I want to see what u got yourself fro. Ukraine and China. We know you didnt earn 13 million dollars

Top man. 👍😷

Good move Joe Biden.

Wow America sucks, make 3M and you have give the government 1M.

Got to get back in office so he can write some more books. Get paid to speak and increase that income again. paytoplay

Trump did not take a salary as president so if my math is correct it looks like to me realDonaldTrump actually paid more to the government then Jill and Joe combined over the past 3 years. Or did i miss something? 🤔

Quick question is anybody who's commenting on this even trust the Democrats or the Republicans

Real charitable guy... donates roughly 1% to charity while Trump donates 100% of his government salary.

Still focusing on the wrong thing. He should release Hunter's tax returns? That might prove to be a more interesting read than Biden's or Trump's.

Trump still paid more

They need new accountants!!

Now we get to see just how crooked the bidens are. I'm sure they are taking full advantage of tax loopholes , but people focus on trump. The bidens are not paying taxes at the rate they expect other people to pay. Democrats are double standard hypocrites.

No one cares.

How about medical records.....

Lmao at all the Trumpers trying to discredit Biden. He released his tax returns. Where are Trump’s, Eric’s, Don Jr’s . and Ivanka’s tax returns?

Does that include the 3.5 million Hunter got from Russia or the $80k per month for sitting on a board in Ukraine he knew nothing about. Why did Hunter get these payments is more fraudulent! Media says nothing to see here and people aren’t informed of the truths.

Don’t care !!!!

And what the Bidens did is no different than the president BUT they hide and scheme

Biden should just come out on stage and say “person, woman, man, camera, TV' then just walk of stage

Biden's income came from which dictator? China or Russia?

Lol don’t they call people like that cocksuckers

Wow...see how easy and effortless that was?

THE ISSUE IS NOT THAT TRUMP PAID NEXT TO NOTHING IN TAXES, DISGUSTING THOUGH THAT IS. THIS ISSUE IS: TO WHOM IS HE INDEBTED? WHO ARE HIS LENDERS? WHO. OWNS. TRUMP? Hint: it’s not the American people.

Breaking news know one cares and biden forgot he did this already. The main stream is worried about taxes as America burns way to go.

Nothing to hide 🙌🏼💙

Dumbest marketing strategy. Was this another TDucklo strategy? I don’t know any Americans who wake up and say they want to be like Joe or Kamala but many want to be like realDonaldTrump. We ALL WANT TO PAY LESS TAXES and BELIKEDONALD

He sure got rich off Americans! Now ask JoeBiden about that cool $3.5 million Hunter took from RUSSIA! While your at it, ask Joe about the dirty Ukraine deal.

It's great to see when people do their part!

CC realDonaldTrump what about you? Afraid that everyone sees you‘re a FakeBillionaire ?

How about those Senatorial papers? When are those being released?

it’s going to be a mess tonight! 😂

Now do Hunter Biden

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's just to show the American people Joe and Kamala has nothing to hide they pay their fair share

Trump.

I don’t care, I will never look at Quid Pro Joes Taxes or President Trumps taxes! No one even cares unless your a Liberal or MSM Fake News Pusher

So really, do you want a President who cannot figure out the Internal Revenue Code? I'd rather have the smart one who gets rich, rather than a slow one who gives a third of his income to the government.

Tonight is the beginning of america’s future;but disagreements/new complex ideas/Growing our economy,Global warming;National security,speak with generosity about our liberty,we the electors,give us a verbal sparring belief about moving forward,Faith is the future,Both candidates.

Such wholesome trolling

Help to get this QNet company banned who people are cheating all INNOCENTS

Just shows he doesn't know anything about taxes & money. Yeah that's who we need handling our money and China for the next 4 years..

AWESOME

A little too late

Who cares How does that change the fact that he’s not a good candidate?

But he won’t take a drug test, won’t allow anyone to check his ears for a device, and is asking for breaks. Biden is an old decrepit man who has lied for decades

It’s not Trumps fault for finding a loophole through Obama’s irrational tax policies

Why not before and now? He should have released it long time back! Stop screaming

Your tax records don’t matter, you’re not a multi million dollar business owner ..... people who understand BUSINESS, understand why Trump only paid $750 in taxes and got such a huge return.

No wonder all these politicians against term limits, they collect a better pension than any military or first responder and never risk their lives. JoeBiden implement term limits for all senators and congressman like they do for presidents !

Thats nice of him! I (we) (the American people) want him to take a drug test! Biden that is, we know TRUMP is against drugs. Sleepy Joe is going to be tucked in tonight.

I wAnt to see Hunters taxes! 'Mostly Fair' Media via YouTube

Damn can we see the untaxable income

I simply don’t care about tax returns just like I didn’t care if Obama was a citizen or not.

Biden/Harris didn’t even need to release 2019 returns because they had both released many years up to 2018. But good for them! I’m glad they did! 👏👏👏👏👏 BidenHarris2020

Are these verified to be legitimate because the biden return doesnt have their signatures on it.

Vote Fake News Trump out.

You go Joe!!!! BidenHarrisLandslide2020

Public paid for him for 50 years.

Ohhhh Yeah, He’s Really 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Your move trump...

Kamala might be richer than DJT

This is just a tactic so he can speak about it at the debate. You gonna be embarrased sleepy joe hahahahah

How about Hunters?

No signature?

all this shows is joe biden is dumb, 31% he could have gotten that down so mich

3.5 million to hunter from Russia. Collusion?

Yeah, those are legit. Right.

Show off

Fake news

Nobody cares

I love how I haven’t seen the tax returns for either of them I’m just supposed to believe what these people are saying smh

FoxNews JoeBiden don’t care about your tax returns. We know what you didn’t do for us in the last 47 years. Now tell all those stories about what you are going to do! once elected you will going on being same ole Joe, working deals for your family and master!

Trump reminds me of that neighbor that runs a cash&carry store, drives that fancy car, receives all the government services and tells you he's smarter than you because he pays no taxes.

IDIOTS, probably the went to CREDIT KARMA to have their taxes done!

Where are they

Because Joe has nothing to hide.

Lol. Biden is a dummy. Not enough write off’s. Lol. Dummy!

Hunter

Good for him. He needs a new accountant.

I want an honest President! I want a President that I can trust! BidenHarrisLandslide2020

Reminder - If Trump had released his tax returns back in 2016, none of this would be a distraction for him now TaxReturns TrumpTaxReturns TrumpLied TaxEvasion

Stone cold loser

JoeBiden you dont actually believe people will take these as valid? Shared by fake media...refuses a drug test...refuses to campaign half the tine...refuses to be checked for ear piece before debate. I have a bridge....

stevebartin And your point is ?

WHERE ARE TRUMP TAX RETURNS?

So..

Who cares

Well, Joe And Camilla have always been GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. Their taxes should be fairly simple. Does anyone think Trump’s taxes would be simple?

How about Hunter's? 🙄

Bingo! Biden lies LyingBiden BasementBiden sniff cornpop trump2020 BlacksForTrump

Is he still taking Hunter as a child deduction?

Of course he is, so he can take attention off his extreme inadequacy as a viable presidential candidate realDonaldTrump joebiden

Trump continues to cross America with Jokes and Lies! Yet when he wanted his pick Amy in place Trump moved mountains!! I wish he cared half as much when it comes to seeing about the People needing the HERO ACT PASSED, ACA passed, All the Voters Protection Acts passed! Biden will!

How is it that HE paid taxes when all his money likely came from the American taxpayers themselves?

What about the S corps in Jill’s name that’s where your avoiding taxes

Lost in all this is the irony that he paid less taxes under Trump (31%) than he did under Obama (~38%).

about right, he has been salary man all his life, no business expenses really to deduct.

Now trump’s turn

Wow. Harris paid 39% in federal taxes? She needs some deductions!!

Voted for joebiden days ago Join US!! VoteBlueDownBallot

His S-Corp or his personal taxes? If JoeBiden can't stand up for 90 minutes, then he's not fit to be the President. Is he going to take pee pee breaks if he meets with Putin, Xi, or the Ayatollah?

This is what an honorable honest president looks like.

Checkmate

I more interested in his cognitive tests than his tax returns. Can he spell supercalafragilisticexpeallidocious

This should give them something to talk about tonight...

That's right bitches.

Real American than lives in a much more real America than trumpy. Making a million in a year is not “normal”, but it’s a long long way from the privileged life trumpy lives

Great now let see Hunters. That’s will the conflict exist per news. Ties to China and Russia ?

Anyone know if Trump received the $1200 stimulus check since he didn’t report much income for 2019? 😂😂

realDonaldTrump - Well, we’re waiting!

So clearly the plan was leak FAKE tax info on Trump and then joe leaks his tax info looking like a hero for tonight’s debate— talking point. Trump still going to eat him alive! Sorry Joe your too slow...

Now let’s see Hunters returns. You know the ones with the millions he has received from actual Putin cutouts.

So refreshing! 👍

So I'm confused. We were enraged with Trump because he used tax exemptions written by the Obama administration to receive a tax refund...but we're cool with Joe doing the exact same thing? He owed $22,504 but because of $69,362 in tax credits he received a refund of $46,858.

Where is the proof from IRS?

The Trump-QAnon Cult ignores this corruption.

Dems have nothing to offer. Jail Joe Biden

Now release your son

Joe Sleepy

So where can we see them?

janeblanier Didn't care about Trumps biden was a private citizen last year don't care bout his either

Biden lead down to 2 points in latest Harris poll. With that popular vote he loses the election and by more than Hillary. Imagine losing to an incumbent Trump, given everything Trump has done to hurt his reelection chances. The Dem strategy over last 3.5 yrs is a huge fail.

Twist

All your taxes including your son Hunters and the S-Corporations, right.

VivaRevolt Trump in. Biden out.

VoteBidenHarris2020 VoteForAmericaNotTrump

Who FN cares

Where are they all at? You listed 2019. Let's see 17 & 18 where you dodged 13.3 million in taxes using s corps. Speak to this biden!

Who will you vote next November?

And the sick heads say the biden campaign weren't coordinating things with the New York Times....

How about we see Hunter's? That's where the fun is...

So

Brave Joe! BidenHarris2020 VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020 VoteEarlyInPerson

You only have to keep them 7 years. Why didnt you release 180 years. Dud you find them down in the basement.

Snore

POTUS Trump were are your? Not waiting another 4yrs! Your time is running out! ⏱⏱⏱

Only Russians and bots think this is a bad idea. All patriotic Americans should applaud this.

The tax law on taking business loss as a tax deduction was changed in 2009 by ...................Barack Obama. I want to see the Subchapter S corp filings as well

Unlike realDonaldTrump, JoeBiden knows it's his duty to help pay for roads, national security, services for millions of Americans. Trump is a thief. He steals the services the government provides. VoteBidenHarris VoteBlue up and down the ballot. Vote early. Protect your vote

vxx46

Government service is a very lucrative job, indeed.

Thank you Biden🇨🇳

Joe is getting all juiced up for tonight!!!

He is not going to show up for the debate tonight. He has a cold.

Haha sure

Well don’t that beat all. Question: is everyone’s tax liability identical, or does the code leave wide leeway for differences?

Meanwhile Trump is tweeting, get a drug test you sleeply Joe 🤣

Simple diversion by Biden, doesn't change anything.

Now let’s see his cognitive testing

Thank you, President Trump for giving all Americans your salary of 400.000! How many times did Joe give his salary to All American?

tell Joe he needs better CPA.s.

EarPieceBiden

That is equivalent to Trump's pay for 400 years at 750 per year.

when is Trump gonna say sleepy Joe is a loser & a sucker for paying taxes...

How much was returned?
