The reason it is under audit: he wants a $80 million refund.

The IRS is contesting this. Just heard this on CNN.

1. It sounds like it was already granted and now they're reviewing it.

It looks like he was not eligible to receive it because he received a 5% share in another company when one of his casinos went under. He would only have been eligible if he’d received nothing.

2. It most likely suspicious at best and criminal at worst.

He's going to the Al Capone wing of Tax Fraud Penitentiary

6. He has something Capone never had; He has a AG and the Supreme Court in his pocket

and a Senate to protect him from impeachment. He can do anything he wants to do.

8. Excellent point. Thank you.

3. He got the money. IRS wants it back and $20M added to it.

5. He got the refund

and the IRS may want it back, with interest.

[Hoyt]

7. He'd have to have paid millions in taxes to get a refund that size.

Something doesn’t sound right about that report unless he paid a bunch in the years before returns NYT has and is carrying more recent loses back. I’m not sure that’s even possible nowadays.

9. He just needs to change the chief or the IRS

or issue a pardon for his taxes.

10. Hell f***ing no! He better not receive a dime of our money!

He already stole enough with his unethical trips to his own golf resorts. F that!

Anyone who green lights that s*** needs to go straight to jail!
