I never understood the obsession with tax returns by the media. Who votes based on tax returns?

Also, if Trump told his lenders he was making millions of dollars in profit yet told the IRS the exact opposite, then that's a felony. Period.

Trump's really just a white collar mobster criminal & a failed businessman all in one. Really, he's nothing more than a Welfare Queen.
You do know that Trump owns properties all over the world, don't you? If he were in debt where he figured he couldn't climb out of it then all he'd have to do is sell some property, right? How much do you figure a high-end golf course or a NYC skyscraper would go for?

Wow, this 70k really has you liberals in a twist. lol. Big freaking deal. Stuff costs a lot when you are in showbusiness. Everyone involved is making money including top hairdressers. Besides, his hair needed all the help it could get. lol.

The NYT has once again cemented its legacy as a propaganda machine, nothing more. They are garbage news the like of supermarket tabloids. If they were so concerned about how politicians paid their taxes, how come they haven't done this to ALL politicians, or at least all the top ones in the house and senate? Oh wait, I'll go back to my original point - NTY is a propaganda machine for the left, nothing more.

You have to be kidding me. Why is it my first reaction is that he is about to be charged with something...

It's as if you borrowed a million from the bank to buy a business, lost it, and then claimed a million dollar loss on having lost the bank's money, not yours.

He had to pay taxes for the first time in his life on the income from his reality TV show. He didn't like that. So he generated "paper" losses at businesses, and claimed that against previous years' income tax, claiming a 72.9 million dollar "refund" from the IRS of all the taxes he'd paid. Essentially, this man has never paid income tax in his life. Which makes sense for him - he is a sociopathic huckster, only out for himself, who will do anything to stay in power. He's the biggest danger our democracy has ever faced.
That refund was the trigger for the IRS to begin auditing him. He owed 95 million, and managed to whittle it down to less than two million by generating highly questionable paper losses.

Liberals are funny.

Even IF this is true, what do they want? Do they want Trump to pay MORE in taxes than he legally has to?

What liberal in history has OVER-PAID on their taxes?

They are under no obligation to release it to the Trump Organization at the latter's whim. This is especially true due to their continued fighting the release of it and his refusal using the false statement that he can't release them while under audit. He can release them whenever he wants. If the president wants to clear this up, he can release them.

They are protecting sources. The tax returns will have tracers on them both on paper and in the computer databases which would reveal who looked at what record when. Thus they are protecting sources.
