Goofy, I explained this elsewhere.  Trump made estimated payments in both 2016 and 2017 in the total amount of $5.2M when he filed his extension in April.  Then when he submitted his tax returns in September he owed an additional $750, which means his accountants did a very good job estimating what his liability would be when he files his returns. I even provided my latest tax returns as a perfect example of this where I paid around $100K in estimated taxes and got a $14K refund (i.e., my total Federal tax liability was only $86K) when I submitted my actual return later that year.  According to the NYT way of lying I didn't pay any taxes.....which is not only blatantly false but supremely silly.

Journalists should be humiliated at not explaining this properly but their goal is to fool the economically illiterate TDS sufferers like you.  They are counting on you being too dumb to understand the truth and that not only would you blindly repeat the lie you would do so repeatedly despite having been corrected.  Try not to let your TDS overcome what little common sense you have.
