From what I understand, I can amortize a loss over 20 years to reduce my taxable income.
If Trump had used the losses shown on the 1995 return to reduce his tax liability to zero in each of these past 20 years then his taxable income could not be in the range you would expect from the greatest (whatever) with a few exception.
Let’s play what are the exceptions!
My entry: Greatest looser
senflynn: Greatest loser
aoeu: Greatest from bankrupt to ?
besillysometimes: Greatest greedy-discourteous-jerk
