How is that ? I paid evenmore than 10X in pesos here in our country and much much more compared to Trump. 1 USD is equals to almost 50 pesos here. Or 750 usd is 37,500 pesos.

Hey Forbes, you had him on your Billionaire list. Did you put him there because he played one on TV? Millions of loans are due to come soon, he guaranteed them. Who is going to loan him money he doesn’t have? Not one credible bank in the US will loan him anything? Putin?

A story forgotten by next week.

You haven't learned. The more you smear the man the more he seem to be liked. You are campaigning for the man literally

Where the F was the IRS ALL THOSE YEARS of tax evasion? Seems to me, Americans shouldn’t pay their taxes until the Impeached President does.

Why is this even a story? Should understand how lass through corporations work and his funds can be sheltered to not pay taxes? Also when you lose money you can deduct it from your taxes. This is a non story. Y’all are grasping at straws. fakenews TrumpTaxes

If he did it legally, good for him.

Jeff Bezos: “Those are rookie numbers”

CMonteroOficial Paga más el ciudadano común que estos multimillonarios pero ese es el capitalismo, el de abajo paga y paga impuestos y el de arriba roba y roba

Who gives a shit about taxes. There r all kinds of legal loopholes that allow for it. If you don’t want that, change the code. Now, on to ACTUAL NEWS. PAID Ballot harvesting by the Democrats is being kept quiet? Why is that Forbes? You’re all clowns, Trump2020 Mother F’ers lol

Damn democrats! Must be desperate

So what ?

He gave the Government back his $400,000 salary every year. That would be like a 100 percent tax bracket.

, you got played—you gonna move him off your top 400 list now or what? TrumpIsBroke

andyroddick If it was legal then Kudos to Trump & his accountant.

And? Sounds like a smart business man. Glad he's running my country!

Your media is passing along another hoax. No one believes any of your FakeNews. Trump will win by a landslide. MAGA2020

All these trumpets in here excusing him bc “all the rich guys do it...” smh. Absolutely nothing will convince these gullible fucks that Trump is a con man

You shouldn’t be allowed to run for President if you’re being audited by the IRS for a 70 plus million dollar refund that you may have cheated the system to receive. Trump is a piece of work man

Yet he's using all of the taxpayers' money to live his life in the White House. WhitePrivilege obamacouldnever

Chinese owned Forbes trying to influence a US election.

i think it is interesting that when asked to present the documentation that proves this, they refused to respond. maybe another steele dossier instance....

Robber!

The real story is this: Trump has massive losses and debt. His business is NOT successful. This means if he doesn’t keep the presidency, he has no way to milk republicans and foreign governments for money to pay off his debts.

Lol 😂 biggest conman of em all how did he make it this far

Why 750? He miss the goal - no tax ...

Last time I checked, this is called winning. Tax Strategists exist for businessmen and businesswomen to hire them and figure this stuff out where the utilization of loopholes and tax credits created by the US gov are exercised.

Hello amazing famz checkout this lovely jam it’s lit and nice feel the vibe don’t miss out love y’all 🔥❤️🙏🏿💃

andyroddick Wanker!

So? If he paid all taxes due, then there’s nothing here. If you pay more taxes than are due, then you’re an idiot.

That’s his secret. Does enough to maintain his lifestyle and destroys the livelihoods of others in failed business decisions to avoid taxes. Just as he is doing to our Nation. Why are you surprised?

219...INDIANA love..LOCKHIMUP

Corruption and obviously has a good accountant 🙄

Because he’s smart!!! Duh. If he did anything illegal he would’ve been prosecuted. How many jobs did he create?

Why he has to pay more than he have to? 😂

Same with Warren Buffet who claims his admin pays more in taxes than him. It’s simple math...the more you make the better the accountant the less taxes you pay. I don’t begrudge those with money....lucky them!

Change the tax code if you don't like it. Many millionaires have great accountants that know the loopholes.

He famously donated his entire salary to charity, I think the average voter would expect him to pay $0.

Yawn...

They are audited by the IRS every year.

We probably owe him a refund

And the Russian mayors wife only gave hunter 3.5 million

How this guy is a leader of a country is ridiculous. No shame... If he wins again, I will never look at Americans the same. It will show what Americans really are....

Can the Irish government please put me on his tax system, scam, fraud, whatever suits, pretty sure I'm being robbed

Surprise surprise....what comes next....that the Russians co-signed his loans from the Deutsche Bank?

ChrisPerkinsDnD Assuming there was no fraud, so? Are you volunteering to pay more in taxes when you don't have to?

Good 👍

It's All about Financial Education realDonaldTrump

Unbelievable.

Tax inspector you are fired

Lol, smart man to use the tax code as written. PS-isn’t it illegal for YOU to release someone else’s taxes records?

Always getting the best deals for his interest !!!! And this is how he gets the best deals for America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💛🇺🇸..We love Trump and nothing can change that

Does that mean he snowed you all getting on lists? I would love to see more stories digging into his cons.

He used the tax codes as do many Americans. Better question is how did elected officials make millions on a gov offices salary? Trump donated all of his Presidential income to charities so that is a tax write off.

Does it take into account the $400,000 presidents salary that he has donated annually?

ChrisPerkinsDnD If this is actually true, this shows the underlying problem of why simply increasing tax RATES for the rich does basically nothing. Remember: The IRS has had these returns for 2 years, and found nothing illegal or unforthcoming in their audit.

What a WOW!!!

Who cares?

You mean he does the same thing that nearly all rich businessmen and politicians do every single year?!?!?!? Preposterous! How dare he do what nearly all the wealthy do in this country at the bare minimum

This is a travesty of justice! I know people who support their families on less than $24,000 a year, pay for health care, school & STILL owe $730 in taxes. America needs to stop taxing poor people at a higher rate than the rich. This heartbreaking!

Because he donated all his presidential compensation!

Trumpster needs to be locked up so the rest of us tax payers can get justice.

That’s still more than what Jeff Bezos pays in and he owns the biggest selling platform in the world 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is the October surprise from Democrats? So lame

Well in CedEntertainer character Eddie from 💈 shop 2 BarberShop2 Whhaatttcchhuuuu gon do about it

Damn and am still paying off the 2018 taxes lol.

Fake News

Bezos paid $5, what's new?

So, no more supreme court rhetorics again!!!! You guys are just dumb along with cnn and the phony NYT. For you to think people care about these? Its only making you look desperate

Most if not all of the facts appearing in this article appear to be inaccurate😑 read whole thing VoteRed2020

Best person in charge though isn't he!!

Unfortunately, there is no surprise. He even himself several times on campain said paying taxes are for losers.

Lemme guess, folarhenry, all lies and politics, right?

Trump 👉🏾Fraud Election2020 👉🏾VoteHimOut

How do one really know another human being,or even oneself? Don't think we truly will,humans fickle.

This won’t change a thing with most of his base. If anything it’ll just reinforce the “HES A SMRT BIZNESS MAN. LIBTARDS. MAGA” rhetoric. But, damn it, I really hope it does comes at least *some* of their minds about him.

Not only Donald Trump lie everyday, do things that theraten Americés safety but he doesn't pay anything as a bilionaire ? America is definitely no more a state of the law

Well since he gave his salary to charity and is no longer running his business what’d you expect ?

Wow! We all know that’s not correct

😡😡😡

Who cares

He got tax deduction for taking billions of tariffs.

Now do Jeff B & Bill G...

Of course. Because he’s a patriot, LOL.

Make Taxation Theft Again.

If the IRS wanted just $750 from Trump after he filed his taxes, then why should he pay more?

Who is the shithole country now

And? Smart business people know how to use the tax laws to their advantage. You’re an idiot if you don’t take all the deductions you’re entitled to!

His is like al capon only so many years you can cheat before you get caught for tax evasion and fraud and this guy is the biggest fraud on earth.

Depreciation.

aka he is broke and using the White House to enrich himself and his family

Worked the tax code the same way every real estate person does. Don't want to see this type of thing, go to a flat tax for everyone

Sad

Not fair

Good for him. Taxation is theft.

Dirty publication to serve opponents. They are 100% legal

What a fraud and a 🤡

He is not a good example😀

Guess what, who cares!

The Trump Crime Family Credo: 'Only LOSERS pay taxes'.

That’s the US tax code

No taxes paid amazon JeffBezos have a lot in common

I think I paid more...

And he’s following the law under extreme scrutiny.... no story here.

“Only”

Obviously legal

Again - this information in the hands of media who don’t know tax is very dangerous

What’s the latest tally on how much the taxpayer has paid for him to golf?

That’s all ?

Pathetic. Fire those useless accountants. Hire the team that does Bezos taxes.

Because he’s not taking a income

No one cares

What an incompetent business person And a crook

No income

Just using the legal loopholes that dc swamp rats like joe Biden have created for their special interest donors. 🤣 another nothing 🍔!!🤣🤦‍♂️🤡🥴🙆‍♂️
