Sunday. Trump's tax returns have long been in question due to his refusal to release them before the 2016 presidential election and in the four years after. Though Trump said in 2014 that he would be open to sharing his tax information with the American public, he has repeatedly said in the years since that he was under audit by the Internal Revenue Service , an assertion the paper said was due to a tax refund he claimed worth more than $72 million.
President Donald Trump speaks during a briefing at the White House September 27, 2020, in Washington, D.C. According to a recent report by The New York Times, Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in 2016, the year he won the election. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the U.S. tax system in a tweet on Tuesday in response to the Times' investigation.
Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez's mention of Amazon in her Tuesday tweet was in reference to reports in years past that the company has not paid federal income tax for years during which it was operating at a profit. According to aby the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, Amazon did not pay federal income tax for the 2017 year despite reporting $5.6 billion in profit in the U.S.
Ocasio-Cortez has been an advocate for a wide range of progressive legislation since she entered office in early 2019. She supports the Student Debt Cancellation Act of 2019, introduced the Green New Deal early in her first term and is also a vocal supporter of Medicare for All, which proposes cutting health care costs in the U.S. by creating a single-payer system.reached out to Amazon and Trump's campaign for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
