Donald Trump’s longtime tax accountant on Tuesday rejected the idea that the Republican nominee deserves any of the credit for employing complex strategies to lower his tax bill and those of his companies.

“I did all the tax preparation,” Jack Mitnick told “Inside Edition” on Tuesday. “He never saw the product until it was presented to him for signature.”

The interview followed a damning report Saturday by The New York Times, which obtained part of Trump’s 1995 tax returns showing that the businessman declared a loss that year of more than $900 million, a loss that tax experts said Trump could have used to avoid paying income taxes for nearly 20 years.

Anyone want to bet that Trump, the tax expert, couldn't properly fill out his janitor's 1040 return?

The janitor probably has so little,  he does a 1040EZ, and that form would probably mystify the Wharton School graduate.

I'm getting the impression Trump's old accountant hates him:
