Did he get a Bonus? Yes. The stock never recovered, and he got 20 million in Bonuses in 10 years, despite this.
Most people, including me, don't care about Trump's taxes...

One of my concerns about Trump's tax return that occured to me soon after it was leaked was, if he lost so much money how could he lead the lavish lifestyle he does?
I came across an interesting article:
Trump's Tax Records Show He May Have Understated His Salary by Millions to the IRS
It doesn’t seem to add up. Just one example of where Trump’s tax returns seem to conflict with reality: the Republican presidential candidate told the IRS and New York state tax officials that he collected a mere $6,108 in “wages, salaries, tips, etc.” in 1995. Yet, according to financial reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that same year Trump received $583,333 in compensation from the then-named Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, the company Trump had taken public in the middle of that year. The figure comes from a proxy statement that the company filed in early 1996. The payment is clearly listed as salary for 1995, and it appears to have been paid directly from the company to Trump, and not through one of the corporate entities he controls.

The poll also found that 73% of registered voters surveyed think Trump should release his tax returns for public review, including about half of Republicans at 49%.

The preparer isn't going to owe the back taxes. Would be convenient.

That is his tax return, which was published illegally.
I'm not sure if he understood it or not. The guy worked for the Trump's since the 60s. Maybe he trusted him, though I'm not much of a mind reader.

Whether he understood it or not, he's culpable for it.

Hey if he didnt "intend" to do anything illegal its all good.
Warren Buffett and Hillary Clinton herself used similar carry-forward provisions to shelter future income -

Amazingly, nobody really cares that Hillary basically used the same loopholes to avoid paying taxes as well.
And anyway, who said there is anything wrong with the (illegally obtained) tax return in question?
