The Numbers Don't Match | Trump, Inc. | WNYC Studios

Everyone wants Trump's tax documents. We got a hold of some from his business and compared them to lending disclosures. Experts could not explain the discrepancies.

If only there was a name for under-reporting income in some instances and over-reporting income in others.

Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, is serving prison time for understating his income to the IRS, and for overstating his income to banks. Trump's former executive vice president and special counsel, Michael Cohen, is also serving prison time, for, among other things, making false statements to a bank.

And Donald Trump? A lot of people want to see his taxes: At least two congressional committees. The Manhattan District Attorney. Trump doesn’t want ANYONE to see them. He’s gone to court three times to make sure they stay secret. The court fight is ongoing. Trump's tax documents remain walled off.

Heather Vogell of ProPublica found some anyway. She compared them to financial documents Trump filed with his lender — and discovered that certain key numbers don't match.

Heather spoke with over a dozen experts in accounting, law, and real estate. Not a single one of them could explain the discrepancies away.

The podcast details some interesting examples of blatant fraud on the part of the Trumby businesses. They were able to obtain financial statements using FOIA.

A win for transparency.

So dumb. New York and the Federal Government both have entire agencies devoted to going after tax issues. Beyond that individuals and corps like Trumbies have accounting firms on retainer to assure they pay as little tax as possible without getting hit with a fine. If you think getting Trumbies tax records for partisan purposes is going to go anywhere beyond partisan tabloid headlines you're a complete idiot.

PS: Can we agree to a moratorium on Twitter links from both sides?

Except if true, this is a felony in all states.

He could easily "own the media elites" by releasing his taxes that prove they're hysterical over a nothingberder.

Maybe he's just stringing them along for some big gotcha, right? 3D chess master that he is.

re Twitter, Trumby first.

I get it, I incorporated and work as a loan out to save money on taxes. It's legal and it works, probably saves me 10-15k per year. The biggest thing I learned from doing it is that anyone who cries about corporations being overtaxed is either full of sh!t or hasn't a fcking clue. Its the average working man thats getting fcked. Not the wealthy and not the corporations. But it'll all trickle down they say...
