I'll bet you a $100 to your donut that you have fudged on your income tax report at some point in your life, that is, if you have actually ever filed. We all do it but since we do it on a small basis as compared to Trump's then we're all innocent and he's guilty?

A tax return doesn’t show such info
Either you are still in high school or you have never filed a tax return
2. I have never understood this argument. Itemized deductions and assorted attached schedules disclose a LOT about a person’s finances. They do not tell the “entire story,” but they can certainly provide an outline.

Does Putin use an EIN or an ITIN when reporting his payments to Trump?
What about Russia?
Or do they leave that field blank?

You can base your vote for president on ANYTHING you wish.
This certainly seems one of the more pointless, though.

Which page did the OP post his own tax return? I can't find it.

If there was anything nefarious in his Taxes we would've known about them in 2015/16 when he was running for president. Obamas weaponized IRS surely could've found SOMETHING right?
Why didn't they?
2. The IRS is looking for violations of the IRC. A hypothetical tax return might disclose transactions (1) which are perfectly-legal undr the IRC, but (2) which might change a voter’s POLITICAL views of the taxpayer.

The press and Democrats werent quite foaming at the mouth and determined to scratch something, anything, together
to impeach and/or obstruct those other Presidents as they are here and now. Totally different world we're in. From day 1 it was "we wont stop digging until we find something" and they dont even know what they're looking for at this point. So do you really blame the man for refusing to provide the tackle for their fishing expedition?

Did you feel this strongly about seeing the tax returns of his predecessor? Or his opponent?
2. As I recall, Obama release 11 years of returns wnen seeking office, and HRC released 8.

The democrat establishment will use the tax returns to find out who does business with Trump. Those people/businesses will then be demonized and harassed, like Trump supporters are

Because they are HIS tax returns. He is still a citizen and still has rights to privacy. His finances have no impact on our country's security. The ONLY agenda here is political in nature.

Did you see any other president's tax returns?

influenced by outside sources
2. As just one example, a 1065 might provide information in this regard.

This is axiomatic - anyone who says they have never itemized a deduction that was totally 100% factually, provably, a "required" business expense is a liar.
Most people get away with it because not even the Federal Government has the resources to forensically investigate every single line of every single 1040. The IRS certainly put the big fish under a most rigorous inspection however. And if 30 years of audits have not turned up significant, then it is a pretty good bet that Jerry Nadler is not going to find anything but 'suspicions about his inner thinking' relative to Trump's tax return.
It
's just another witch hunt aborning.

You think the person who did not know the Gov’t took over the student loan industry should be able to go through his tax return? You are out of your mind. I bet you weren’t this way when Obama refused to open his transcripts.

Well, the Mueller investigation fell flat so the clingers are now screaming about income tax returns.
After that, it would be something else.

1) it’s against the law (the relatively few candidates who have shared them have done so on a voluntary basis not congressional action)
2) it’s none of the public’s business what’s in his tax returns. It really isn’t. If you think he is funded by nefarious characters the simple solution is don’t vote for him and convince enough others not to vote for him and to vote for his opponent.

Actually the Law states he does have to gove VERY very detailed Financial Discloses under Campaign Finance Disclosures. There's like 56 pages the last I checked of everything in his portfolios, sources, amounts, when, where, how down to like his JC Penney's card issue date and closing balance. All publicly available as the campaign finance laws demand.
Exactly the reason his taxes are NOT required. Just like you note in your post: Taxes do NOT show squat really, especially in comparison to Campaign Finance Disclosures. And there are laws in great depth and detail with severe penalties for fraud on Campaign Finance Disclosures that would allow for his removal...except you can bet Mueller, DNC, RNC, RINO/DemProgFilth CPA's, foreign persons/entities/govt.'s, all have gone over said Campaign Finance required Filings with a fine tooth comb for years now. NADA.
Just let these deranged fools rant on forever over Taxes and point and laugh as the insane monkeys fling poo on each other.
Federal Election Commission filings for Donald J Trump That's for his campaign, inc., feel free to look over the hundreds of docs they have on file...and he'll have to submit new annual forms soon as the official election campaign kicks off and continue to file quarterly during the entire election campaign, right up to election day (possibly year end 2020 to officially close the books on the campaign since he'll be finished campaigning himself forever after that).
You put a lot of time into that for someone who is never coming back to this thread again. These OPs like terrorists. They drop what they think is a bomb and then disappear.
