Exposed: How Trump uses golf courses to dodge millions in taxes
Alternet details how Donald Trump uses conservation easements at his golf courses for large tax write-offs, including a $39 million deduction at his Bedminster club that the IRS first rejected before a court settlement. Citing a Forbes report, it says a Jupiter, Florida easement has saved him roughly $825 million, that a projected tax bill over $500 million could be substantially reduced, and that a settlement reportedly created a $1.8 billion fund while barring future IRS audits of Trump and his children; the Wall Street Journal reported a similar Doral move could save nearly $120 million.
