Can someone explain how you can pay $750 a year in taxes but have a $70 million refund coming?

4. I was just wondering this same thing.

We don’t have a year by year breakdown. We know ten out of 15 years prior to 2016 (first $750 year) he paid no taxes. Typically to get a refund you have to either 1) make tax payments in a given year (unlikely for Trump) then request a refund when you file if actual taxable income is lower than what you estimated your payments on or 2) carry losses back to profitable years and request a refund by amending prior years.

Looks like we need more information.
