Stark differences in newly seen tax documents on two of Donald Trump's buildings show stark differences in reporting on expenses, profits and occupancy figures.
The discrepancies made the buildings appear more profitable to the lender — and less profitable to the officials who set the buildings’ property tax.
For instance, Trump told the lender that he took in twice as much rent from one building as he reported to tax authorities during the same year, 2017. He also gave conflicting occupancy figures for one of his signature skyscrapers, located at 40 Wall Street.
Time to talk some more about Warren's 1971 teacher job I guess......

Are these documents for Trump personally or for an entity in which he has an ownership interest?
Who prepared and signed the applicable documents?
Are the tax and loan forms for exactly the same entity or property?
Are the tax forms prepared on a cash or accrual basis? The financial statements?

IIRC, the left was telling us a while back that Trump no longer had equity stakes in his real estate, because the banks had forced him into a position where he merely allowed the use of his name for a fee. If that is true, then Trump has no interest in or responsibility for the tax and financial reports. Which story is true?

Other questions come to mind, but for now I'll just ask one more. Does the person who wrote the article know anything about real estate accounting and finance?
