I think the tax return release was an early October surprise. Because of early voting, October is too late.
It makes him look good. All that charity, and not claiming all as deduction.
Perhaps i’m giving too much credit, but these capaigns are not run by idiots.
All tax returns that are put on extension and not filed by April 15 must be filed by 10/15 so the timing of this doesn’t surprise me.
It also shouldn’t surprise anyone that his return took this long to prepare. It is often the case with complex returns and tax payers who get income from many sources that the return is delayed.
I won’t go into more detail, but I just want to put it out there that this is a common occurrence and not some suspicious thing.
