No it’s tax avoidance, which is using legal means to avoid taxes. Write offs, charity, etc. but tax evasion is the crime. Bad OP.

damn these idiots.... How are they getting tax avoidance? If you use all the legal ways to pay your taxes than whatever the total is then that's the correct amount you owe. Avoidance would be them telling me how much i owe but I just dont pay. They are getting bad with their words games if this is what they are using. Tax evasion is lying, not reporting stuff, and doing other stuff like that to lie on your taxes. Avoidance would literally be the person knowing what they owe, but just not paying it lol. Trump did neither. He literally paid his taxes the way he is supposed to. So by these idiots saying tax avoidance they are saying he didn't pay. This is by far their worst attempt at word salad BS

Remember these are communists who believe 100% of all income/revenue should be taxed. In respect to communism there is no tax avoidance, only evasion.

Tax avoidance has a specific legal definition, it is not just not paying taxes that you tell the government you owe.

I mean you're right, in a way, filing your taxes itself is an effort to avoid them as much as you can.

Ya it's along the same lines as rioting being called peaceful protesting. A = B type deal.

It’s not tax evasion, That’s a crime. It’s called tax avoidance using the current tax laws which is completely legal and done by every accountant in the country.

My tax team as well as my real estate team are in for a big surprise next year. Both pandered to BLM and whined about Trump. They are being ghosted. I spent two months contacting potential replacements and basically told them if you aren't voting for Trump we aren't doing business until I found my guys.

How’d that go. I suspect my accountant is a dem, but a classical liberal. She seems to do a good job.

There were many uncomfortable silences, not one of them was prepared for the conversation so I had to go with my gut as none of them would commit one way or another but sort of danced around things.

If people knew how much side gigs/self employeed people got taxed by the feds, they'd wanna avoid taxes too lol.

I should know, I used to be a Socialist/commie till I payed Taxes. Once I looked at my tax bill I went "Hold on a minute, you're taking 20% of my earnings.... And I get nothing back?" Went from Commie to full fucking Ancap in that moment lol.

No you get a police force that for political reasons lets the city burns and then you get to pay even more to allow the city to repair itself.

YEP! Because "Antifa/BLM are the good guys" to those stupid DA's. And my federal tax dollars go to a certain extent to those dumb fucks.

You actually are okay with the fact that he followed the law in accordance with the way congress wrote and adopted?

Any smart person will do anything they can to legally avoid taxes. This story is so stupid.

I think I'd actually have less respect for him if he were overpaying on his taxes, would make him look like an amateur getting fleeced by his accountants.

Trump avoids his taxes which is legal. Trump does not evade taxes, which is illegal. Big difference

Only morons pay as much tax as they possibly can. If you aren't trying to legally minimize how much you pay in taxes then you're retarded.

Evasion implies not paying legally required taxes He'd be in jail, Millionaire loop holes and tax breaks aren't Evasion.

Taking legitimate tax deductions is not tax evasion or avoidance.

It wasn't tax evasion, it was tax avoidance through legal means. Bit of a difference
