How much did Trump pay in federal and state taxes in 2025?

Executive summary
There is no public reporting in the provided sources that states how much Donald J. Trump personally paid in federal or state income taxes for tax year 2025; the available journalism and policy research instead documents sweeping tax-law changes and tariff collections that affected millions of taxpayers and federal revenue in 2025 [1] [2] [3]. Any attempt to state a dollar figure for Trump’s personal 2025 tax payments would go beyond the material these sources supply.
1. No source here discloses Trump’s personal federal or state tax payment for 2025
None of the supplied documents contain an itemized disclosure, IRS record, court filing or credible report showing the dollar amount that Trump paid in federal or state taxes in 2025; the material focuses on the One, Big, Beautiful Bill and its economy-wide effects rather than individual return data, so the direct question of “how much did Trump pay” cannot be answered from these sources [1] [4] [5].
2. What the record does provide: a new law that reshaped 2025 tax liabilities for many Americans
Congress passed and the president signed the One, Big, Beautiful Bill (also styled as Trump’s “big beautiful bill”) into law on July 4, 2025, and the IRS lists numerous provisions in that Act that take effect in 2025 and change taxpayers’ liabilities and credits [1] [4] [5].
3. Key provisions that could change taxable income and deductions nationwide
Among the changes effective in 2025 are a temporary increase in the SALT deduction cap — raised from $10,000 to $40,000 for tax year 2025 (subject to phaseouts) — an increase in the standard deduction and a modest boost to the child tax credit, along with new carve-outs for tips, overtime and targeted benefits for seniors; the IRS and multiple analysts document these as central 2025 changes [1] [4] [6].
4. Revenue and distributional estimates: big costs and targeted benefits
Nonpartisan and policy shops estimate the legislation sharply reduced federal revenue: the Tax Foundation and related trackers estimate multitrillion-dollar reductions in federal tax receipts over the coming decade tied to the law’s permanence of 2017-rate provisions and added cuts (estimates range in the sources from roughly $4.5–5.0 trillion over 2025–2034 on conventional scoring) [2] [7]. Distributional analyses from groups like ITEP and the Tax Policy Center emphasize that a large share of the net tax cuts flow to the highest-income households, with ITEP projecting that the richest 5 percent would capture a disproportionate share of the net cuts [8] [9].
5. Offsetting revenue from tariffs and contested “rebate” claims
At the same time, the administration ramped up tariffs in 2025 and customs duties through October 2025 are reported in these sources as having raised roughly $205 billion for the federal government, though analysts caution that tariff collections do not fully offset subsequent macroeconomic effects and can effectively act as a tax on households [3]. The White House has floated using tariff receipts to fund one‑time rebates and has promoted the idea of large refunds in 2026, a politically charged claim that the New York Times notes lacks a concrete legislative plan and would require Congressional approval [10].
6. Why that matters to the question about Trump’s personal tax bill
The materials show a changed tax landscape in 2025 — with sweeping law changes, tariff revenues, and partisan claims about rebates — but they stop short of reporting on any individual taxpayer’s returns; therefore these sources cannot substantiate a figure for how much Trump himself paid in federal or state taxes in 2025, and any precise number would require direct tax records or credible investigative reporting not present here [1] [10].
