certain articles that have explained it. But, there so many that say.."he's released just one year"..and I wonder where they get that from? If they've investigated themselves or just being lazy?

Thanks Steven Leser. For the link, from C.S. Monitor

In any case, Stanford University law school professor and tax law expert Joseph Bankman told the Associated Press, "It's the Bain years we'd really need to know to have a full assessment of his tax strategies." Releasing details for 2010 and 2011, Mr. Bankman said, "only raised these questions, but they can't provide real answers."


Sen. John McCain (who required far more tax information when he was considering Romney to be his running mate in 2008), called it “an incredibly detailed look at his finances.”


McCain is such a Tool..no wonder he chose palin..he wanted to win no matter what.

Could he get in trouble with the IRS? felix_numinous Sep 2012 #5
We dont know what he disclosed to them (the IRS). That is one of the questionmarks. stevenleser Sep 2012 #8
His supposed release of his "tax returns" is as bizarre as anything else he has done 6000eliot Sep 2012 #6
This could drive his tax rate far lower. morningfog Sep 2012 #9
Exactly. If he has omitted accounts that would have shown earnings of some sort. stevenleser Sep 2012 #11

What he released isn't necessarily what he actually filed. Spitfire of ATJ Sep 2012 #13
Exactly. That's another issue. But at least with the list of accounts, if he releases a false list stevenleser Sep 2012 #16
Another thing is when they say "This is what he owed" could be before deductions. Spitfire of ATJ Sep 2012 #21
