IRS Audit of Trump Could Cost Former President More Than $100 Million
The tax agency concluded in its long-running investigation that Trump effectively claimed the same massive write-off twice on his failed Chicago tower.

Former President Donald Trump used a dubious accounting maneuver to claim improper tax breaks from his troubled Chicago tower, according to an IRS inquiry uncovered by ProPublica and The New York Times. Losing a yearslong audit battle over the claim could mean a tax bill of more than $100 million.

This is not surprising. When an accounting firm drops a high-net-worth client's company, that firm more than likely does so for an ethical and/or legal reason. And for an asshole like Trump, they were likely smart enough not to risk their asses for that loser any longer and do what he wanted.

Of course an accounting firm wants to distance themselves from a guy who has a pack of wild dogs nipping at his heels, looking to put him in jail for finding a dime in a pay phone change return. That’s self preservation, not anything to do with the client but the radicals pursuing him.

So your brilliant epiphany is that Trump burned the midnight oil cranking out his 1040EZ to make the midnight deadline? Couldn't he have just gone to H&R Block with a shoe box full of receipts and have them do it or at least hired an entire accounting firm or bus load of CPAs to do it for him? I mean... if I had a couple billion laying around, I would at least consider the latter.
