We Need To Urge IRS To Complete The Audit Of Trumps Taxes So He Can't Use That As....

[global1]

an excuse anymore for not releasing his taxes.

The IRS should make it very visible and shout it out loudly - that they have finished this audit and that there is no longer an excuse for Trump to say he can't release his tax forms.

[Jose Garcia]

1. The IRS is not allowed to make information about people's taxes public

For all we know, he isn't even being audited.

[global1]

2. I'm Not Saying That The IRS Make Trump's Taxes Public....

I'm just saying that they should complete this audit that Trump is saying that they are doing and let the public know that the audit is complete. Is that a violation on the part of IRS?

[Jose Garcia]

5. All of that information is confidential by law

They cannot acknowledge that someone is being audited.

[LiberalLovinLug]

12. Except that he has already admitted it

His apologist in chief Kelly Anne has been using that fact as a reason for NOT releasing them for awhile now. (Even though there is no law saying it can't be done)

[Jose Garcia]

13. Just because Trump has said something does not mean that it is true

[LiberalLovinLug]

14. But if he wasn't being audited, they he surely would exclaim it...loudly

instead of the opposite. There is no reason to admit he was being audited if he wasn't. Wouldn't that make him look guilty of something?

Oh..I just got it. You are basically arguing that that is a way to avoid releasing them? I see.

3. He has never yet provided proof that his taxes actually are being audited. nt

[Jose Garcia]

6. Exactly

[Wounded Bear]

11. True, but if he were really being audited...

his lawyers and financial advisors would have received letters confirming that he was under audit.

I would not be illegal to release those to the public. He could prove he is under audit if he actually were.

4. You are never going to see Trump's tax returns. Period.

[Jose Garcia]

7. Not unless somone illegally leaks them

[putitinD]

9. +1

8. It is so obvious they need to finish their audit. NOW.

[Idoru]

10. But they may not be doing any audit

That is what is crazy making about this. They won't even say one way or the other if he is being audited at all. He can claim he is being audited for the next ten years. And he will.

[Equinox Moon]

16. Good point.

He is such a liar. There might not even be an audit happening. How do the people around him stay quiet about stuff like that? I think we will have some massive leaks coming.

Welcome to DU!

15. Trump is just lying. He's probably not even under audit.

He said in his "press conference" that he is a real estate developer and has "very little debt." Everyone knows that's a steaming pile of crap, but there's no way to prove it without the tax returns.
