Trump at GOP Debate: I’ll Release Tax Returns When Audits Are Done

“I pay as little as possible”, Trump said at a rally in western Iowa in late January.

Trump again articulated that he wanted to release his tax returns. “But that doesn’t mean you’re going to be any good at what the big picture is which is running a country”, Trump added. He did not, however, say that he was now being audited or working on tax files that were in the process of being audited.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is arguably better known for being a billionaire than being a Christian.

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney hasn’t endorsed a 2016 candidate yet, but has taken the stage to cast doubt on candidate Donald Trump.

“It’s a function of just having complex tax issues, which are likely to produce disputes and likely to produce revenue”, said White.

The other two GOP presidential candidates Senator Marco Rubio and Governor John Kaisch of OH said they would soon be releasing their tax returns.

He then observed: “But there’s some irony here that Mitt Romney is doing to Donald Trump, by just sort of openly speculating and trolling him on this, what Harry Reid did to Mitt Romney four years ago, when Harry Reid just said, ‘You know what?” The IRS’s normal statute of limitations for an audit is three years — though that time frame is extended in instances of substantial underreporting and there is no time limit on reviews in the event of fraud.

However, when Trump appeared on Hewitt’s show earlier this week, he touted the size of his returns and floated that he’s “audited all the time” by the government.

“I’m sure a careful tax attorney would advise him not to disclose it in the middle of an audit”, Thorndike said of Trump.

But even if Trump were under audit, he would be free to release his financial information to the public, the IRS said Friday.

Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd agreed: “I don’t think it matters on his tax rate”.

In the interview, Romney also called on Texas Sen. At last night’s debate, Rubio and Cruz banded together to hit Trump on the issue of his taxes, with Rubio stating that the public should be able to see how much Trump makes versus how much money he inherited. Should outside tax experts call attention to what they think are errors or questionable claims, IRS agents may choose to revisit those items in the audit.
