Donald Trump once again has said he won't release his tax returns because
they're under audit.
He indicated in an Associated Press story that he would do so after the
audit ends, which may not happen before November.
Yet here's the thing: There's nothing preventing Trump from releasing his
tax returns now. Not the IRS, not the law, not even precedent.
Turns out Richard Nixon publicly released his tax returns while they were
under audit in 1973, at the height of the Watergate investigation.
But Watergate wasn't the reason, according to tax historian Joe Thorndike.
In the summer and fall of that year, "Nixon was engulfed by a controversy
over his personal taxes. An outsize charitable donation was the proximate
cause, but the scandal expanded to include numerous issues with the returns
Nixon had filed between 1968 and 1972," Thorndike noted in a soon-to-be-
published paper.
Interestingly it was that very tax controversy -- not Watergate -- that gave
rise to one of Nixon's most famous quotes, Thorndike found. "People have
got to know whether or not their President is a crook," Nixon told reporters
in November 1973. "Well, I am not a crook."
He even went so far as to invite the Joint Committee on Taxation to also
examine his returns. It did, and found Nixon owed another $476,431 -- or
about $2.5 million in today's dollars. The IRS came to a similar conclusion.
But back to Trump.
It's certainly understandable why someone -- a public figure with a
complicated financial life no less -- would not want to release his tax
returns, especially when they're under audit. After all, why invite the
added scrutiny from tax experts coast to coast?
The problem with that argument, though, is this: Trump is applying for the
biggest and arguably most important job in the world.
And a requirement of that job in modern times is transparency.
While not required by law, full tax return disclosures have come to be
expected of presidential nominees as well as every sitting president, audit
or no.
"Americans have good reason to worry about the tax behavior of high-ranking
officials. After all, when Nixon was actually serving as president, he was
claiming unjustified deductions and failing to report all his income,"
Thorndike noted.
When asked to comment on the fact that Nixon had released his returns under
audit, a Trump campaign spokesman said, "Mr. Trump is undergoing a routine
audit. The documentation of this is available on our website."

Nobody will be forced to release tax return. Not Trump, not you and me.
It is perfectly legal to keep it under the cover.
