These jokers have no idea about audits. Problem with them, they had never made money.

[BenLurkin]

Maybe he isn’t concerned about “legal restrictions”. Maybe he would rather wait and see if he will need to file amended returns.

If you would like to be added to the
TED CRUZ 2016 PING LIST drop me a FReepmail.

[Daniel Ramsey]

I could care less about Trumps taxes, not an issue.

[sparklite2]

Trump should release some returns
right after Kerry releases his
service record and Obama his
college transcripts.

He isn't going to release his tax returns period. They would prove him to be a bleating fool, which he is by the way.

[DouglasKC]

Okay, he releases his tax returns it says one thing. The audit finishes and his tax returns are amended. The OFFICIAL tax returns are the amended ones. In other words, he has no final product to release yet. Get it?

[jennychase]

My personal experience with IRS audit. Let it over first and get closing letter and then release.
I have to keep my records forever. Two years back I have to show transactions from 2001-2003.

[Parley Baer]

Tell, when is Ted and Marco going to release their statements?

[McGruff]

Cruz shouldn’t be chastising anyone about hiding documents.

[Donglalinger]

Harry Reid is that you?

[Slyfox]

And Trumper warned us about Ted having all those lawsuits around his neck because of his "illegal" status to run for president.

Ya just can't make this stuff up.

[jennychase]

Start making money and then give advise.

[tirednvirginia]

Any tax lawyer would advise against his/her client releasing tax returns that are being audited. Plain and simple as that.

[jospehm20]

I agree. He should never release his returns. The media is conditioned to think that if they ask for tax returns, republican candidates always produce them. Trump needs to retrain the media.

[patriot08]

Donald said he’d release his tax files when the IRS is done auditing.
He’s being audited because the establishment wants to get him.
He says he has nothing to hide. What’s a little longer wait?

I don’t see how he could release them with the IRS auditing them.
This is grasping at straws.

[MeganC]

I understood this. Tax returns that are being audited are not necessarily the final word on someone’s taxes. He wants to release just one version of his taxes to avoid confusion or media spin.

Because if there’s multiple versions of his taxes then even there’s a valid reason for it you KNOW the left wing media will spin it into anti-Trump propaganda.
