This story is a joke. The joke is that the media is desperately scrabbling for material. Out of sheer desperation it's using 20+ year tax returns to headline stories claiming that Trump paid no taxes.
These stories are based on what? I'll let the media tell it...
"Trump’s losses in Atlantic City casino projects, a Trump airline and the Plaza Hotel in New York were a staggering $916 million... Under normal Internal Revenue Service rules, those losses can be used to offset any future amount owed, but because the amount of the loss was so high Trump may have continued to avoid any tax liabilities for years... The documents do not constitute proof that Trump has paid no federal tax over such a long stretch, but it lends fuel to questions about his refusal to release his tax returns."
Translation. We have absolutely no basis for the claims that we're making them. But we're not only making them, but headlining them.
Can I just point out that using the same logic, the New York Times has a large building with plenty of space to store the bodies of murdered hoboes. I have no evidence that the New York Times building is full of murdered hoboes. But the fact that it could be used for such a purpose combined with the refusal of the New York Times to let me inspect every inch of it in search of murdered hoboes certainly lends fuel to my wholly invented claim that the building is full of murdered hoboes.
