Trump’s “Smart” Tax Calculator

Hillary's campaign developed a formula to calculate how much you would pay in taxes if you paid the same as Donald Trump.

*Donald Trump says he paid zero because he’s smart. The New York Times says it’s because he lost almost a billion dollars. Either way, Trump may have avoided paying federal income taxes for 18 years after losing $916 million in 1995. And Trump really did pay zero, or nearly zero, in federal income taxes in 1978, 1979, 1984, 1991, and 1993. Until we see evidence otherwise, we’ll assume it’s still zero.
