Sander's problems with taxes are the reason Trump won't release his

[browsing deer]

Sanders is taking heat about his taxes because of some of the perfectly legitimate, but disreputable, deductions he took.

Trump's taxes are are going to be more problematic. His New York taxes are full of tax abatements and that is just the public part of them. He has built his empire on legal tax frauds. He will not release his taxes. Net ever.

Why would someone release tax returns when they are being audited?
Whats wrong with Bernie doing something EVERY OTHER PERSON in the country does?

The IRS has said there is no legal impediment to releasing your taxes during an audit. This is juust one more lie, one of thousands, from Trump.

As I said, Sander's taxes are perfectly legal. Lots of people are giving him heat over them.

As usual, his lies are unnecessarily complicated, and he has to change them repeatedly


Trump Now on His Third New Reason To Not Release Tax Returns



Trump says he cannot release his tax returns because he is undergoing an auditthat goes back “four or five years.”

But the Internal Revenue Service usually does not look back more than three years.

“Generally, the IRS can include returns filed within the last three years in an audit,” the agency’s website says. “Additional years can be added if a substantial error is identified.”
The IRS further reports, “The statute of limitations limits the time allowed to assess additional tax. The statute of limitations is generally three years after a return is due or was filed, whichever is later.”

Either Trump is lying about undergoing such an audit as an excuse not to release his returns, or the IRS has found that his most recent return includes an error considerably bigger than a simple oversight.

Whatever the truth, an audit should not preclude releasing his returns.

Meanwhile, Trump has tweeted a photo of himself with a pen and a stack of papers.

“Signing a recent tax return—isn’t this ridiculous?” he wrote on Thursday.

In October, Trump had initially said that he would release his tax returns after Hillary Clinton released all her emails.



“But I will say this, and I’m very proud to say it, I think the country is run horribly. I hate what they do with our money,” Trump noted at the time. “And unlike everybody else, I try to pay as little tax as possible, because I hate what they do with my tax money.”

Trumpery lies about everything else so not surprising he's lying about his tax returns.

Funny thing is, if a Dem pulled the dishonest crap that Trumpery does, the RWNJ traitors would throw a fit. And rightly so.

Breaking: It has been determined that Trump's tax returns are none of the lefts business hence they can shut it.

Hillary claimed she landed under sniper fire, explain her lie lib.

Anyone demanding Trump release his tax returns must first publish his/hers/its right on this board or STFU. Hint: Easy to do as a .pdf file. Now get cracking!

trump made a big noise about other people's taxes. If he had been less of a prick about other people, I could be less of a prick about his.
9 Key Points About Trump's Income Taxes (And Many More Questions) - The National Memo - Smart. Sharp. Funny. Fearless.

The income that Congress required Buffett to report equaled a bit more than a tenth of one percent of his wealth. Had he chosen to do so, however, Buffett could have legally lived tax-free by borrowing against his assets because Congress has decreed that borrowing is not a taxable event. Trump’s tax returns, if we had all of them, may tell us how much he has used borrowing to avoid taxes.

I revealed Trump’s income and tax payments from his early years in my book Temples of Chance. In 1977 he made $118,530 and paid $42,386. The next year Trump reported an income of negative $406,379 and paid nothing. In 1979 he reported negative $3.4 million and again paid no taxes.

No doubt that reflects what Romney hinted: Trump may well report negative income and live tax-free, an issue the mogul and I once discussed at the old Trump Castle Casino in Atlantic City. (Incidentally my employer, then The Philadelphia Inquirer, paid for my lunch.)

Trump seemed to want to interfere with the IRS audit when he tweeted: “As far as my return, I want to file it. I will absolutely give my return but I’m being audited now.”

Asking the IRS to close the audit or face criticism seems innocuous, unless you understand what is going on politically with tax law enforcemen

It's those damned deductions I took for my donations to the Clinton Foundation...

Clinton Foundation Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT ARE THE TERMS OF MEMBERSHIP?
The membership fee is $20,000 ($19,000 tax deductible) per year. Membership expires 12 months from the first day of the month in which membership is processed (example: if you register on June 1, 2014, your membership expires on June 1, 2015).

ARE MEMBERSHIP FEES TAX-DEDUCTIBLE?
Yes. Because the Clinton Global Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, all fees are considered to be tax-deductible contributions. However, this tax deduction is only available to U.S.-based organizations.

For federal income tax purposes, CGI members may deduct $19,000, which is your $20,000 membership fee less $1,000 for its fair value.

They don't have to, but they can reveal a person's real interests. Donations to Planned Parenthood, Greenpeace, the NRA, NAMBLA, etc.

You need to get your facts straight as usual

The transcripts she won't release are not from public speeches but rather from a series of private speeches for which she was paid 2 million dollars to give by a group of high financiers.

Most reasonable people would think that payment was nothing but a thinly veiled payoff. The fact that she insisted there be no transcripts available to anyone and that she own the only copies seems to indicate that she thinks if anyone actually knew the content of those speeches that it would be clear that 2 million was naught but a bribe
