Newly released tax returns for former President Donald Trump have shed light on his business losses, complicated tax set-ups and tax payments during his White House years.
However, they are unlikely to have a major political impact as he eyes another presidential run, experts say.
The documents confirmed that Mr Trump paid no federal taxes in 2020 and only $750 (£622) in 2016 and 2017.
He paid close to $1m in 2018, however.
A long legal battle led to the release of the records, and Mr Trump criticised the disclosure, warning that it will deepen the US political divide.
He added that the returns “show how proudly successful I have been and how I have been able to use depreciation and various other tax deductions as an incentive for creating thousands of jobs and magnificent structures and enterprises.”
Although there’s no law requiring it, it is tradition for presidents to publish their tax returns.
US presidents are paid a salary like any worker, but many also earn income from their personal businesses and investments.
The newly released documents include tax returns and related documents for
Donald Trump, the Donald J Trump Revocable Trust and seven corporate entities.
They represent only a fraction of the former president’s over 400 separate business interests.
