Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: In search of Sanders' tax return [View all]During his 2006 Senate race, Sanders made a big deal of his Republican opponent releasing his returns during a debate and pledged to do the same. At the time, his campaign said it would be a "good idea" for candidates to release their federal and state returns.
"Are you prepared to release your taxes?" Sanders said to his GOP opponent, then-Republican Senate nominee Richard Tarrant, during a debate in Burlington, Vermont. "Anytime you want to release your taxes, Mr. Tarrant, which you originally said that you would, but I believe changed your mind ... we are happy to do that."

Sen. Bernie Sanders pledged in late February to release his tax returns and has still not done so.

"Yeah, we will. I mean, we have it all done and it's just a question of dotting the i's and crossing the t's. Yes, we will, absolutely," Sanders said.

How does one dot their i's and cross their t's on a completed tax return? Anyone know?
Plus I have done my own tax returns for years. It is about the numbers and not the letters.

It would certainly be nice to see the release of all info by the time the 1st debate is held.

I like the idea of erring on the side of MORE transparency... earlier, rather than later.

Yes, after he stated he had released it and others, was fact checked, which showed that was false.
