I must have been absent when this concept was being taught in my accounting and finance classes .

Live and Learn I say --- so you should regard this as a " Teachable Moment " and a public service because I am sure that there are others who would like to be educated on this particular issue as well as me .

Why Donald Trump's Tax Returns May Prove He's Not That Rich
"Trump doesn’t think his tax returns will tell us much that’s new, advising the curious to look instead at his voluminous PFD. But the return, if it’s forthcoming, will make fascinating reading. It will dispel the confusion between profits and revenues, show the size of the Trump empire and reveal if he’s a big taxpayer, or uses totally legitimate rules to avoid big levies."

I agree what he is worth does not matter. What matters if he says he is worth $10 billion hundreds of times and he lied hundreds of times.

Doesn't honesty mean anything to you?

If Bernie Sanders is dirt poor and the Clintons left the White House so poor that they felt it necessary to commit grand larceny by stealing gov property, why does Trump's income bother the libtards? This is puzzling. Perhaps this is just another case of "WEALTH ENVY?"

And Hillary Clinton says she did NOT send or receive any classified information on her Internet email system. She also claimed that a video was the reason for Benghazi. Honesty obviously means more to me than to the libtards on the left.

But, I would like to see the tax paperwork that would show Trump's worth. My tax paperwork does not show my worth. You must be confusing his tax return with his financial statement that he already submitted for scrutiny.

That is what this thread is about.

I'll play along.
Does it matter to you if any candidate is dishonest?

He probably is "worth" that much with all the buildings and other property values combined. But he owes on it all too. His NET worth is much much lower I'm sure.

Donald Trump's $10 billion financial-disclosure report - Business Insider

"For instance, they have boxes once a certain number is reached that simply state $50 million or more. Many of these boxes have been checked. As an example, if a building owned by Mr. Trump is worth $1.5 billion, the box checked is '$50,000,000 or more,'" the statement said.

So, what's your problem? Seems like all the questions have been answered. Next!!!!

Whatever Trump is worth, he obviously doesn't want to spend any of it on self-funding his campaign, as he has been preaching for almost a year. This self-funding gimmick always got the biggest response at all of his rallies.

Trump will need 1.5 billion dollars minimum in the next few months. It seems he will have to rely on lobbyists and special interests.

Trump self-funded his primary run. He was telling the truth. Trump made his billions by using other person's money. He is a businessman.

He said, he said, he said. Try holding your own candidate to the same scrutiny. I realize that you are losing voters to Trump from the Democrat party, but that's because Hillary is such a scumbag and Bernie is a socialist. Only the young and naive want to vote for a socialist. They are too young to understand the dangers of a socialized system. They are too young to have fought against the spread of socialism in other countries.

Tell me why Trump should fund his campaign totally out of pocket? Get a life.

What is Trump Trying to Hide in his Tax Turns?

The title of the thread.

This has not been answered. Trump said it's because of an audit and the IRS said the audit makes no difference.

Not everyone trusts him.
