trump's 2005 tax return prediction thread

[NightWatcher]

I'm going to guess he was broke in 2005, still claiming losses.


What's your guess?

1. I agree...

Unless she has the entire return we won't know the juicy details like Russia, etc.

Donald Trump was able to deduct $39.1 million from his 2005 federal income taxes by pledging not to build houses on a New Jersey golf course he owns, according to public records.

An appraisal conducted for the 2005 transaction determined that Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. was worth $49.5 million if it could be split into 33 estates, but just $10.4 million as a golf course. Tax law lets property owners impose permanent conservation restrictions and then claim charitable deductions for the reduction in value. Those restrictions curb what future owners may do with a property.

In 2005, according to the Internal Revenue Service, 2,186 taxpayers claimed so-called conservation easements for a total of $1.8 billion. That means Mr. Trump’s $39.1 million would have represented about 2% of all such deductions nationwide that year.

7. That's not exciting at all

14. Just the amount the tax returns show he owed. What a coincidence.

The returns are saying he paid about 38 million on an income of 150 million. If he got to subtract 39 million from that, hmm, let me do the math here . . .

9. Released by Trump?

This might be the only year he paid taxes, and he would want to get it out there.
Given that they're old taxes, and if the information is correct that he paid federal taxes, this is probably not a big deal.

12. +1, they were given to DKJ .. someone with good name... but COULD be released by Benedict Donald...

11. NO SCHEDULES ... is ... USELESS, if they have schedules then it may be the least incriminating year

... for Benedict Donald to release.
