Trump owed $1 million in tax refund by Chicago, but state’s attorney seeks to block refund

Former President Donald Trump is owed $1.03 million in a tax refund from 2011 for his Chicago skyscraper, but the Cook County State’s Attorney is filing a lawsuit to block it, according to reports.

The Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board ruled in June “that the Cook County Board of Review overestimated the value of the building’s hotel rooms and retail space,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

The tax refund, which has not been issued, would “come out of property taxes due to the city of Chicago and eight other government agencies, including Chicago Public Schools, which stands to lose the biggest chunk of money, about $540,000,” according to the outlet.

The original case was filed by Alderman Edward M. Burke, whose former law firm, Klafter & Burke, argued that Trump’s skyscraper had been over-assessed.

  1. I am simply a Delaware resident waiting since April 15th for his Federal tax refund. Calls to Coon’s office have gone unanswered while Hunter Biden spends twice what I am owed for a month’s rent in Hawaii.
