This is harassment. A person of Trumps wealth and income is pretty much under constant audit. There is nothing to see here.
Is there a criminal charge (”be quiet” money was determined to be perfectly legal) or are they going to have to analyze everything to come up with something appropriate?
We don’t pay income tax on properties, we pay property tax and those taxes are assessed.
That leaves valuation for collateral purposes which are subjective and that’s why lenders have 3rd party appraisers.
So I agree with Trump, this is a fishing expedition and as I posted more than a year ago, this is NOT about real estate. This is about doxxing Trump partners who will be revealed in the returns and who will then be targeted.
These people need to be stopped and made an example of.
So we don’t have a crime that we are investigating . We need the returns to see if he committed a crime.
America as we knew it is gone
So now, they can get anyone’s tax records.
IF they did, even quite by accident, would that liability fall on the Firm or the Client?
Can we demand the the Biden family hand over their tax returns, please?
They're right here, apparently. Now I am not an accountant, so I don't know if they show any funny business going on or not, but maybe there are some Freeper accountants on here who could make sense of it.

The precident is there...
Damn right the precedent is there. Every president from Nixon onwards has released his tax returns. If I were in Trump's shoes I would release the tax returns, then sit back and watch the leftist media howl with outrage when they find nothing there. The more he resists releasing them the more it looks like he has something to hide, even though I'm sure he doesn't.
They don’t care what the tax returns mean. All they need is an indication that he is doing business in Russia, China, etc. and they can and will claim anything they want.
They lie all the time. they do not need the truth.
“A million pages” tells you they have no crime and they are trying hard to find one.
They will find nothing illegal..They will infer everything could be illegal/immoral/antisocial etc.
i understand there are literally miliions of pages for the years involved...i would mixed them up throughly and completely,,,then say “there ya go”.....
Enough talk, it is time for action.
80 million plus know who the criminals are and we are just sitting back and watching them do it
Likely some combination of bank/tax/insurance fraud. Any or all of those.
If they don’t comply in a prompt manner they risk losing their accounting licenses in multiple states. They’re required to comply with the law.
Again, I find this a bit difficult to believe too. No bank is going to loan money of that magnitude without having the property appraised. My wife worked for Citibank years ago when they go screwed on the Trump Shuttle. It was the bank’s fault, not Trumps.
Valuation for tax purposes is tied to GAAP accounting rules. Depreciation differs between book and tax but the “value” of an asset for tax purposes is its cost. There are very few ways left to maneuver the tax code. That’s why it’s as friggin large as it is. And why I have a job!
What was the probable cause used to obtain the tax data?
UNLESS the Grand Jury is composed of CPA’s, it will all be a mystery to normal people.
