“He has lost money by running for office and that is why he won’s show his taxes.”
He refused to show his tax returns while running for office. They covered years he was not running, and could not have had a loss because he was running for office. He lied when he said he’d release the returns.
He lied when he said he could not release the returns because he was under an audit by the IRS. A taxpayer is never forbidden to release his/her filed returns because there is an ongoing audit.
Have you ever been audited by the IRS?????????????
I have, both personally and for my business returns. I was not instructed by the IRS that I could not release or show my returns to anyone during the audit. In fact I released them to banks during the audit as I was applying for financing for a real estate development at the time. The bank that provides our rolling business line of credit requires I release to them my (and all partners’ in the CTL firm) tax returns every year. The CTL Law Firms is a partnership, not a corporation and we partners are personally liable for the loans. Last year, we borrowed a large amount to buy land and construct our first freestanding NY office.
