《纽约时报》称，目前特朗普“屋漏偏逢连夜雨”，一方面手持4.21亿美元的巨额债务和贷款，大部分将在未来4年到期。同时还得应对美国国税局正在进行的审计调查，特朗普或须补交罚款1亿多美元。
美国国税局的审计人员正在调查，特朗普疑似滥用了税法中的一项条款，该条款允许他通过退款来避税。
特朗普在过去18年中共缴纳了近9500万美元的联邦所得税，但从2010年开始，他收回了7290万美元的退税。
如果退款被驳回，特朗普可能需要支付给国税局超过1亿美元的赔偿金、利息和罚金。
对此，《国会山报》评论道，特朗普比任何人都清楚普通美国民众和大型企业的缴税规则并不一样。他没有根据自己的实力选择正确的缴税规则，而是耍手段逃避税款。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）在报道中指出，特朗普作为一个反精英的改革者，他谴责腐败的体制，实际上却是在利用它的漏洞，通过对外展示自己财产上的损失来避免缴纳任何联邦税款。
美国总统历史学家道格拉斯·布林克利指出，“特朗普就是白宫里的一个骗子”，他在竞选期间拒绝向公众公布纳税记录，支持率落后，这对特朗普的总统任期也构成严重挑战。

除了积极减税之外，特朗普也积极申请所得税退税。从2010年至今，特朗普获得的所得税退税累积有7290万美金，这也是国税局正在审计的核心项目。若最后国税局的裁决对特朗普不利，特朗普可能需支付1亿美金以上。特朗普目前还有3亿美金的贷款需要在四年内清偿完毕。
特朗普企业的律师戈登(Alan Garten)认为，《纽约时报》的报导“若不是全部，也至少有部份与事实不符”。《纽约时报》以保护消息人士为由拒绝提供戈登特朗普的税务资料，但称消息人士是透过合法管道取得资料。
2016年与特朗普竞选总统时，民主党候选人希拉里(Hillary Clinton)曾称，或许特朗普拒绝公开纳税资料就是因为他没有缴交联邦所得税。当时特朗普称他只是认为拒绝公开“显得比较聪明”。
特朗普年收上亿，居然可以只缴750元美金的所得税，甚至还有10年一块钱也没缴….
《纽约时报》报导，特朗普在过去十五年当中，有十年缴纳的所得税为零。2016与2017两年，缴纳的所得税都仅有750美金。
该报导揭露，特朗普透过通报旗下业务的亏损来最小化应纳税额。虽然2018年特朗普财团整体通报收入有4亿3490万美金，但他同一年声报的亏损也有4740万美金。
特朗普在周日(9月27日)白宫记者会上称《纽约时报》的该报导为“假新闻”，也坚称自己有缴税，只是没有提供更多细节。他也发誓有一天会揭露自己的纳税资讯，但是没有承诺具体时间。他在2016年竞选时也做过类似承诺但从未兑现。

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump paid no income taxes whatsoever in 10 of the past 15 years beginning in 2000 because he reported losing significantly more than he made, according to an explosive report released Sunday by the New York Times.
The President paid just $750 in federal income taxes in both the year he won the presidency and his first year in the White House, according to more than two decades of his tax information obtained by The Times.
At a briefing Sunday, Trump denied the New York Times story and said he pays “a lot” in federal income taxes.
“I pay a lot, and I pay a lot in state income taxes,” Trump said.
He added that he is willing to release his tax returns once he is no longer under audit by the Internal Revenue Service, which he said “treats me badly.”
Trump is under no obligation to hold his tax returns while under audit but has been saying that for years.
The President repeatedly refused to answer how much he has paid in federal taxes in the briefing and walked out to shouted questions from CNN’s Jeremy Diamond on the topic.

Mr. Trump still has assets to sell. But doing so could take its own toll, both financial and to Mr. Trump’s desire to always be seen as a winner. The Trump family said last year that it was considering selling the Washington hotel, but not because it was losing money.
In Mr. Trump’s telling, any difficulty in his finances has been caused by the sacrifices made for his current job.
“They say, ‘Trump is getting rich off our nation,’” he said at a rally in Minneapolis last October. “I lose billions being president, and I don’t care. It’s nice to be rich, I guess, but I lose billions.”

When he ran, he said he might make his taxes public if Hillary Clinton did the same with the deleted emails from her private server — an echo of his taunt, while stoking the birther fiction, that he might release the returns if President Barack Obama released his birth certificate. He once boasted that his tax returns were “very big” and “beautiful.” But making them public? “It’s very complicated.” He often claims that he cannot do so while under audit — an argument refuted by his own I.R.S. commissioner. When prosecutors and congressional investigators issued subpoenas for his returns, he wielded not just his private lawyers but also the power of his Justice Department to stalemate them all the way to the Supreme Court.
“I would love to do that,” Mr. Trump said in 2014 when asked whether he would release his taxes if he ran for president. He’s been backpedaling ever since.
he New York Times has obtained tax-return data extending over more than two decades for Mr. Trump and the hundreds of companies that make up his business organization, including detailed information from his first two years in office. It does not include his personal returns for 2018 or 2019. This article offers an overview of The Times’s findings; additional articles will be published in the coming weeks.
The Times obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades, revealing struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due.
Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.
He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.
As the president wages a re-election campaign that polls say he is in danger of losing, his finances are under stress, beset by losses and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due that he has personally guaranteed. Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million.
The tax returns that Mr. Trump has long fought to keep private tell a story fundamentally different from the one he has sold to the American public.
