I feel like this can only be lose-lose for Mittens. If there is something unseemly, then that's bad for him (like it matters at this point). If there really isn't much to fuss about, then why did he and Mormon Barbie make such a big fuss about not showing it?

Maybe there is something he doesn't want the church to know. Like he helped franchise some Starbucks in Detroit. Updated On: 9/21/12 at 02:03 PM

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has released his full 2011 federal income tax returns, fulfilling a commitment he made earlier this year.
Brad Walt, the trustee of the Romneys blind trust, said the Romneys paid $1,935,708 in 2011 taxes on $13,696,951 in income. He said the Romneys effective tax rate for 2011 was 14.1%. Also in the release, Walt said that during the 20-year period between 1990-2009, the Romneys paid an average federal tax rate of 20.2%. In January, Romney released a summary of his 2011 taxes. In it, he and his wife, Ann, originally said they filed a joint 1040 reporting a joint income of $21 million and a tax bill of $3.2 million.

I thought Mitten was just releasing a summary of 2010? did he change his mind?

They were rounding UP in that previous summary, that's what you do if you know anything about business like Romney supposedly does.

A summary means squat. He could have had ANYONE cook up a summary. No. Unless he releases his tax returns for the past 10+ years I see this as a non story. An attempt from Team Romney to put this issue to rest before Obama hammers him about it at the debates.

Meanwhile Obama still hasn't figured out what to do about radical Islam destroying US embassies and killing innocent people. Oh I got it, let's film a commercial and put it on Pakistani tv.

So when Obama "figures that out," Mitt will disclose more about his finances?

We don't need no stinkin' summary.

They didn't - they had filed an extension because the 2011 return wasn't prepared yet.

Again another Republican on here with an analogy that doesn't make any sense.

"they had filed an extension because the 2011 return wasn't prepared yet."

Yes, because it's obvious they were trying to figure out how to spin it.

And that doesn't explain the refusal to release the older returns.

But, but, but - he paid MORE than he needed to last year!

He spent April to October overpaying his taxes and you're still not happy!

[madbrian]

Yes, he overpaid his taxes, an act which he has siad should disqualify him from being president. However, after the election, win or lose, he can file an amendment to his return and get the overpaid taxes back.

I hear Harry Reid's apology is in the mail!

LMFAO!

[wonderfulwizard11]

Posted: 9/22/12 at 8:35am

Why would Reid apologize? Unless I'm mistaken, Romney hasn't actually released any of the tax returns from the past 12 years, which are the ones Reid meant.

Posted: 9/22/12 at 9:12am

His accountant has lied for him before- like when he said Mitt had filed Massachusetts state taxes so he could claim residency there. And he overpaid (What a bizarre word that is in the case of a multimillionaire who's paying a lower rate than poor old me) only because he previously lied and said he never paid less than 13%. He paid more money into the treasury so that would be true-- probably just for a couple months as he can and probably will file an amended return that will take his rate below the magic number.

I'm not saying Reid was right, but the current returns Mitt has released don't do anything to prove Reid wrong.

Well, it was a lie!
