From 1998 to 2010 I paid an effective tax rate of 98.6%

I have no plans to release anything but that statement.

When Mutt and Emma release theirs showing conclusively they paid an effective rate of 21.4% (or whatever they claimed) I will consider releasing my tax returns.

By the way, there were several years in which I had to pay more than I earned.

Can you prove your claims, Matt and Ilya?
