Us Amended Tax Return: Fill & Download for Free

Short answer is, The Conald has something to hide.Long answer is, a lot more fun...Candidates for President have been showing their tax returns since Jimmy Carter released one year’s worth in 1975 - as did Ford for 10 years, Reagan one year ('80), Bill Clinton one year ('91), as well as nominees Kerry (20 years) and McCain (2 years). Obama released 12 years of tax returns while running, making him the Anti-Drumpf.The idea of presidential candidates releasing a tax return makes sense. At least for one year it gives the electorate a little confidence the office-seeker is, reasonably, financially law-abiding. Mitt Romney finally released his tax info in the 2012 race after many months holding out. Why did it take so long? Did he have to hide a magic underwear slush fund? Did he think being worth a quarter-billion dollars, but only paying 14% tax, might hurt him? Too many tricky offshore shell companies? Turns out, yeah (except, perhaps, the underwear part). The 47% who “don't pay taxes” didn't like it. I wonder if there are account opportunities near Kolob? Eh, who knows.But that’s just the point. Releasing a tax return is yet another norm President Spanky still chooses to ignore. And since he has flouted this tradition, it’s also fair game to speculate why...He’s not a billionaire – This is the most obvious one. Release of his tax returns would confirm Donasaurus Wrecks doesn’t have anywhere near the wealth he claims. He has hung his imposing reputation on the notion that he is worth 10 billion dollars. Any reasonable person knows his imposing reputation hung itself years ago.He doesn’t pay taxes - He actually said so many times. During the campaign, he bragged that he games the system. And it is common knowledge that he has gone bankrupt a handful of times and repeatedly lost money in numerous business failures – even with cash machines known as casinos! If he released a tax return for even one of the recent years, the gullible MAGATs (Make America Great Again Trumpeters) would plainly see that Captain Combover can structure taxes so as to pay $0, yet still keep his jet and golden toilets and stiff his creditors. Obviously, such realities are easier to ignore if kept in the realm of speculation.He doesn’t want anyone to be able to “follow the money” - New York Mob, Deutsche Bank, Russian Oligarchs, Trump University, Russian Mob, dozens of failed brands, his phony charity, screwing contractors, boning investors, crapping on shareholders might all come more fully to light if the initial threads of Don Pardon’s intricate web of financial deceit were exposed.He would die of a thousand cuts from the Emoluments Clause - Imagine if we knew for sure he had been getting tens or hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars from foreign entities; (again) the Russians, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan (site of another unfinished, failed tRump project that actually caught fire), Turkey, Indonesia, Israel (I don’t want to ignore antisemitic conspiracy theorists - looking at you Alex Jones), the Philippines and Qatar (trying to get back into Agent Orange’s good graces). Even China is starting to throw money his way. Right this way to infiltration of America, ZTE.He spends the equivalent of the GDP of Malawi on - Propecia, bronzer, Minoxidil, Crestor, Ambien, extra long red ties, Depends and (coincidence?) baggy suits. And that’s what we know about. Ok, “Depends” is a hyperbolic assumption… maybe he uses Protection Plus. Perhaps he has even spent money on a hair transplant; though if he did, he followed his usual MO and picked a notoriously cheap provider so he really needs to get his money back.Admittedly, this is all very unfair to Generalissimo Bonespurs... and I did try my best to make sure of it.He has repeatedly stated he can't release his tax information because it's under audit. Of course in 1973 Nixon's taxes were under audit but released them anyway, trying to prove he wasn't a crook. And I can't blame the Cheetoh-In-Chief for not wanting to draw any more comparisons to Tricky Dick.Bottom line here is, we don't really know why America's CheeseburgerMeister won't release his taxes. But considering the unassailable evidence that he lies, he cheats, he steals and he's not fit to be an animal-food taster, much less President, any reasonable person – which leaves out most Republicans, Trumpa-Loompas and Fox News – could only arrive at the most obvious conclusion: he is as corrupt as they come... and maybe Stormy Daniels will eventually shed light on what that sounds like.Mean Girl Donnie doesn't want to release his taxes because he IS a crook. The dullest Occam's Razor would lead you straight to that flagrante delicto conclusion.NOTE: An earlier draft stated Romney didn’t release his tax returns in the 2012 race and I guess that stuck in my head because it took so long for him to release them. I remembered incorrectly and it was pointed out - more than once - so it has been amended. Gotta love Quorans, they’ll keep you on your toes.ALSO NOTED: It has been further pointed out that Ford never actually released a tax return but only a summary. Doesn’t it figure that Benedict Donald couldn’t even achieve the level of lowest expectation.

“Given that nothing in the US Constitution gives citizens a right to keep their sexual dalliances or medical records secret, shouldn’t the supreme court strike down Roe v Wade?”Hows that for an equal application of your theory??? Not biting huh?The US constitution neither grants rights nor limits them. The US constitution limits the power of government, details the manner in which it is to operate and what FEW powers it has to do so.The requirements to become President of the US are being a natural born citizen and above the age of 35. That’s it. Want to add extra requirements, pass an amendment granting the government those powers. I won’t hold my breath.States have no authority over federal taxes or returns therefore, in turn, they also have no authority to demand their release or examine them.Now let’s try applying a little 4th and 5th amendment, those pesky limits on government powers, to the scenario. Both amendments are incorporated against the states.4A: Prevents the government, from federal all the way down to municipal, from going on fishing expeditions looking for something to use against an individual.5A: Prevents the government from forcing an individual to testifying/provide evidence against them self.What purpose, other than to weaponize them against a political opponent, would using the power of the state to force the release of tax returns serve? I know, I know, you’re super totes worried that a candidate may be a secret agent of a foreign power. No? You’re just worried that they will use their position to line their pockets? Are you just as concerned that senators and congress critters, the people who ACTUALLY control where federal spending goes, can LEGALLY make investments and trades based on non-public information?Or are you really just upset that ‘she’ lost and you want retribution???

No, and frankly I think the whole thing is pretty stupid. Tax returns aren’t a complete financial picture; they don’t show things like assets, unrealized gains, appreciation, equity, debt, and don’t offer any meaningful insight into anything.On top of that, I don’t see any real value in having the information anyway, given that it would just be a tool for the opposition’s political spin machine.Case in point, I once worked for a company that went bankrupt, a company where the owner was tried and sentenced for securities fraud, a company that was fined millions of dollars for violations of consumer protection laws, and so on. I was basically a lowly peon in all of those companies and had nothing to do with any of that stuff - but could you imagine the political spin that would be all over that information if I ever ran for office?The opposition would be smearing me left and right, over my “track record of involvement with failed companies” or “working with criminals” or my “association with companies violating consumer protection laws” and how I “accepted money for years from a man convicted of securities fraud”.It would be completely ridiculous.Do you really think there will EVER be a time where the media gets their hands on a tax return and says “Hmm, looks like this guy went to college, paid off his student loans, worked his way up in a company, and did well for himself. Good for him! I guess there’s nothing to see here.”Hell no. It will be “Oh my God! He had a summer job when he was 18 at a farm. A FARM! HE SLAUGHTERED HELPLESS ANIMALS FOR PROFIT!” and then the media cycle for the next 6 months would be whether or not we should elect a chicken axe murder, and speculate on whether or not he enjoyed it, all while PETA organized protests at all of his campaign stops.Really, the whole tax return thing is just another media and opposition talking point. It serves no other purpose.
