Everyone has lawyers handle the things Cohen testified to. This is from the book of “all capitalists are evil”. The taxing authority didn’t have to approve his request nor do they approve such things easily.

Yes, and many larger buildings are separated into components in order to get faster write offs. But property tax values are only losely related to reported income and expenses.

Property tax is based on an estimate of current value.

Tax deductions are based on actual money spent.

Getting a lower value does not affect one’s income.

As for my property tax assessments, they are nearly always lower than market values. When they are higher than expected, I call and ask the assessor’s office to reassess.

Exactly. So.... Trump could not have just decided to devalue his real estate and lied to the IRS about the value, because the IRS DOESN'T allow you to decide the value.

"And would it help for the committee to obtain federal and state tax returns from the president and his company to address that discrepancy?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.

"I believe so," Cohen answered.

HAHAHAHA!

It there had been ANYTHING in PDJT's tax returns some proglib irs employee would have leaked it by now "for the greater good" or some such nonsense.

None of which is illegal, by the way.

But...but...but...it's immoral to hide potentially collectible tax dollars from the Democratic Party, er, I mean, the poor people who need them!!! /s

To get a lower tax rate. Say the tax assessor appraised the property for $1,000,000 and $10,000 in annual taxes. A tax rate of 1%. So you petition the tax assessor that the property is only worth $800,000. You have that right. However the tax assessor has his appraiser value the property and consider the elements you brought up. Let’s say now it is appraised at $925,000 and taxes are $9,250 thus saving $750 annual. You have that right to challenge the tax assessor’s value.

I am not a CPA but do a lot of FSCM implementations.

From a tax pespective, does “Real Estate” even make sense? Land and buildings (much less furniture and fixtures) are quite different.

Hard to believe this IDIOT was put on the financial oversight committee. And if anyone believes she came up with that question on her own, I’ve got some Arizona seaside property to unload.

Who is feeding this nobody these questions to ask?

The same two people who helped Cohen rehearse his testimony.

Yep, that’s hilarious.

If ever there was a staged question that there’s only one answer to it was that one.

The RATs are licking their chops to get his tax returns.

Are Schiff and @AOC related, or both just afflicted by crazy eye syndrome?

Thanks for the response. And for allowing me to mention that it’s not the IRS that deals with property tax. I felt as dumb as AOC when I realized what I wrote.

There is something grotesquely wrong with our system of government wherein imbeciles ascend into positions of governance. I don’t know what the fix is short of revolution.


Actually, the founding fathers designed the House to be peopled by ordinary citizens, which I assume is why the terms are only TWO YEARS. They never intended it to have lifetime members.

“”What does any of this BS have to do with the Russians?””

I watched the whole hearing - dope that I am...not as smart as the TX congressman’s wife who said she had better things to do than watch..and I would swear that the rules were laid out at the very beginning in Cummings statement that anything about Russia was out of bounds in questioning and bingo - it wasn’t but a couple of turns later than the questions started about Russia...the first was by a woman and now I don’t remember exactly who but it may have been Wasserman-Schwartz....

And Cohen’s proof is he believes so. Mikey wasn’t Trump’s tax account or tax attorney
