Please provide your reference to this financial disclosure.

There was no way for Trump to avoid this tax liability. He had to pay it down using his assets. And he did.
What confused the Times is Trump did not pay the liability with a check. He used a credit issued to him earlier by the government, a credit that can only be used to pay taxes.

The loss carryforward provision in the tax code allows an individual to spread current losses into subsequent years to offset future tax bills.
This is an extremely common tax workaround that businesses use, according to Ebong Eka, CPA. For example, Amazon used the carryforward tax provision in addition to other tax credits to offset more than $11 billion in profits its first 17 quarters, Amazon consistently operated at a loss, losing a combined $2.8 billion during that span.

But h8e was subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), a parallel tax system aimed at making sure wealthy people cannot use deductions to eliminate their tax liability altogether.

The government-created tax asset is available to anyone. Looking back at some of my old returns, on Form 1040 it used to be Line 75 under the grouping Refund. On Form 1040A it was Line 49. It allowed you to designate an amount of your refund you wanted to apply to the next years estimated tax. From what I have heard, and I have some very reliable sources, Trump has been doing this for years.

On the subject of Loss Carryforward, there a number of losses that apply. For businesses there is the Net Operating Loss, NOL. A business that has a net loss in a given year can carry that forward to the next year or years, current law allows up to 20 years. Currently a maximum of 80% of a previous year NOL may be applied in any subsequent year. Individuals with investments make deduct loss on any investment up to I believe the current amount is $2000 but might be higher. People like Trump or Buffet who have multiple investments the total loss in a down year can add up.

I'd just as soon do that as opposed to the Biden lockdowns that are surely coming if he's elected. The scare tactics by the dems will be coming to an end on Nov. 4. They just need to scare you until the election is over.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

I had to travel to Moncton, New Brunswick yesterday on business. I was there about a month ago and there were notable changes.

1). When I crossed the provincial border from Nova Scotia there was no longer a manned COVID checkpoint at the crossing. You could drive across the border without being stopped.

2). Everybody and I mean 100% of everybody was wearing a mask. A month ago I had a sales meeting with my sales people and nobody wore a mask. This trip, as soon as we got within six feet of each other, everybody automatically put on a mask. Nobody complained. It is a very small price to pay for a very low COVID infection rate.

3). I was in a customer location and everybody was wearing a mask and all persons who came in the door were wearing a mask. If they did not have a mask, a free mask was provided to them. This was the first copier install where I wore a mask 100% of the time I was on the customer's premises.

Trump can't control the looting and "mostly peaceful" protests. They're spreading covid like it's going out of style. Philadelphia was out of control last night. These idiots were stealing washing machines right out of the store.
