New house speaker's latest financial disclosure

How likely is it that a 7 year congressman doesn't have a bank account, a home, a retirement fund, a college fund for his kids, even a savings account?

Think, then post. You look like less of an idiot that way.
There's something weird here.
the US government pays by direct deposit
No one is going to loan a guy a quarter million dollars without some financial history.
and
Doing everything in cash should be a big red flag for Treasury.

Weird.

Johnson's money goes to a non interest bearing checking account.

Nothing to see here. Mystery solved.
 
Stop chopping up my posts... read the entire post with the link....
Sorry.

But it still doesn’t answer the question why you couldn’t gift someone?

You may have to pay gift taxes, if you’ve depleted exemptions, but those exemptions are something like $11 million, which isn’t a pretty big number. But even paying a gift tax doesn’t mean you can’t give a gift.

I’ve seen this topic discussed before and there seems to be a lot of confusion about it.

I don’t think you have much of a point here.
 
Why is it "suspicious" when a Congressman is honest and not taking graft?

Has the Biden Regime made bribery and payoffs so normative that libs can't believe that a politicians could be honest?
Actually...the lack of a financial history is ar more suspicious than anything in Joe Biden's history.
 
“believe me”

I don’t. Why would it be on your taxes?
Read the link... don't expect me to explain the IRS to you... who knows why... any amount over $15,000 must be reported... and any amount over I think $150,000.... taxes must be paid by the recipient of the loan... even if the loan is paid interest free and before the end of the calendar year... why?... its the IRS that's why....

Great.
Let's see his credit history, tax returns for 10 years...and where is this "checking account" that didn't exist 5 days ago?

Johnson does not have a lack of financial history.

He has a mortgage. He has a HELOC. He has two residences. He has a checking account. He has two kids in college with tuition.

It's nonsense to say he has no financial history.

The checking account has always existed. House ethics rules don't require it to be disclosed because it is a non interest bearing account.

Rules are rules and the IRS has a rule for anything and everything that involves your money because they think its their money... I've been battling them for years ever since I went into business for myself...

Let's see it.
ESPECIALLY his government "loan" that got forgiven.

This guy is 2nd in line to the presidency.
Why isn't this more important to you?

Oh, that's right. GOP Blinders

You’re still confusing gifts with loans. The link talks about gifts. It doesn’t talk about loans.

The link correctly states that you just have to report gifts over $15k, but don’t necessarily pay taxes unless you’ve hit the very large exemption.

Your link says nothing about reporting loans. Loans are not income and don’t need to be reported unless the loan is forgiven.

Maybe you’re battling them because you have a hard time reading and applying the rules. So far, you’ve just rambled about gifts which really has nothing to do with this.

Loans are not income.

It doesn't matter if its taxable or not... if you don't report it you just committed a crime....

So you claim. You have no links that say anything of the sort regarding loans, and everything I see says the opposite.

Am I supposed to take your word for it?

Nope... I made a few mistakes when I started but when the IRS attaches themselves to you they do not let go... even when I sold my business they audited me....
