The IRS old computers and internet probably could not handle that.

My cpa does not mail in our 3/4 inch stack, he scans them and electronically sends them in. He does it in the evening so his internet connection can handle it.

“You mean that the great and powerful wizard Trump doesn’t file electronically???”


No, it means that Trump understands “optics”.

If everybody submitted a paper return the IRS would be so far behind they would never catch up.

Why should any politician be required to release their tax returns? Isn’t that a private matter?

After I retired. I was an independent contractor, and I could not believe the paper work that was created.

We figured out that every other pay check needed to be put into an escrow account to pay for our Fed/Cali taxes, both sides of SS and other stuff. We still owed money at the end of the year.

When I turned 62, our CPA told me to take the early SS, forget the crazy travel and learn how to manage our investments. My wife protested until our CPA said that if I didn’t, my wife should sit in the back of our pickup with a homer bucket filled with 5 and 10 $ and throw them out to the unemployed as we drove by.

It was the best advice we ever got.

They don't have to release tax returns. My understanding of the law is a financial statement is what is released which is not the same thing. But the politicians do so anyway because they are bated to do so by the press or opposition candidates.

My wife (God rest her soul) used to take books outside.

Then I introduced her to a hunting blind about a mile into the woods. Well, that blind soon smelled like her so I had to let her have it.... just keep that smellygood butt out of my other blinds. Anytime I couldn’t find her and a 4wheeler was missing, I knew where she was.

Cruz’s flat tax is not even his.

And Reagan's Tax Plan was from Kemp and Roth. Cruz' tax plan was from Arthur Laffer. Cruz went to the best to get a plan that would work. Trump did similar, I'm sure. It is nothing to be ashamed of.

Yea, funny how you have to give Cruz ideas for his campaign though. I am a fan of the flat tax. If Russia can have one why not the US and A?

Given Trump’s proclivity for “exaggeration” (some of us have another word for that), how do we know those are his REAL tax returns? Release them, Donald!

He is not filing EZ form. Day you will make money, you will know how to file IRS form.
And if you have income from abroad, you will get audit from IRS.

My wife is hooked on books. She reads several books a week.

She loves to go outside and read when the weather allows it.

< I>Meanwhile he dodges on the net worth question wonder what he is hiding.

Who's business is it how much he's worth? Not yours. Let's all see your tax returns. Come on. Post them on FR. No redactions. Say, what? Yours is private? Snort, so is Trump's.
