That said, please understand that if he had committed tax evasion, he would have been in jail right now because at his level, it would be considered tax evasion of massive proportions. Also, I'm sure as he is saying he gets audited by the IRS every year. It seems like he has been AVOIDING taxes legally and why not, that's how the tax code is. There's a big difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. Rich people hire big accountants and professionals to do this and if its all done legally, there's nothing wrong. Don't we all get our taxes done somewhere and we expect that person to get us all the credits right? There's different types of tax credits and rules for each individual based on type of income and all sorts of characteristics. But I do believe he has made a big mistake by delaying the release of the tax returns. I personally think the reason why he has been withholding is because his income may not be as much as he has been claiming and he may be sustaining a lot of losses (Remember he keeps saying he is a GREAT businessman, meaning he makes a lot of money) Taxes are just not part of the equation but watch how Hillary campaign will take advantage of this and absolutely make it clear to everyone that this guy is not paying taxes. Politics is one crazy crazy thing. Trump absolutely deserves this for being an asshole that he is to all of us but at the end of the day, please know these facts. And that's quite a shitty title for this thread. You should first analyze the tax return before saying something idiotic like that. Just because someone doesn't have a tax due doesn't mean he hasn't paid taxes. That's like me saying, you have never paid taxes because you always get refunds every year. There's two things NOBODY on this planet can run away from, taxes and death.
