Gunster Shareholder Martin Press recently commented in a USA Today article discussing the release of Former President Donald Trump’s tax returns.
The release included tax returns from 2015 to 2020, spanning nearly 6,000 pages. Press underscores the importance of viewing Trump’s returns as business records in conjunction with his prior FEC (Federal Election Commission) filings, and not as balance sheets. “An income tax return is merely that,” he explains.
Martin Press was the first board certified tax attorney in the state of Florida. He has served tax clients in planning, international issues and tax controversies. Prior to becoming a tax lawyer, he was employed by three of the national CPA firms.
In 2014 and 2018, Martin had three highly noted tax cases, including U.S. v. Clarke, U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. v. Zwerner, a highly publicized international tax related case, and Dynamo Holdings in the U.S. Tax Court.
