Makes sense to me. The IRS should not be able to avoid testifying. erronis Apr 2019 #2

Michael Cohen indicated he's not been audited. Why not?

He's rich, he's in a notoriously corrupt business sector, he has thousands of little corporations... if he isn't being audited every single year, what on earth is the IRS doing?

I got audited because I get some 1099 income (there was no problem, but they wanted me to match them up).

Waitresses get audited to make sure they've reported their tips.

But Trump?

The IRS always sends out a letter when they audit somebody. If Trump were under audit like he claims, he or his lawyer/accountant would have that letter, and it would be pretty simple to produce it.

Trump is last person anybody should trust. Show us the audit letter. He spent 5 years demanding the POTUS produce his "papers." Produce the audit letter.

It might mean that there is information that's missing or the numbers don't tally. Sometimes all it means is that you have to produce more documents, or that some entity you do business with is being audited. The IRS also does random audits. And one other thing Trump has never produced is an audit letter, which would request certain specific additional information for a particular tax year, and which would prove he really is being audited. Even so, being audited isn't an excuse for a candidate or a president refusing to release their returns.

Can this info be requested by the house? I mean would they (IRS) provide the answer if he actually been under audit for number of years? Or is this another tRUMP lie?

Just more bullshit that the Orange Asshole gets away with.
Any of us would be locked up in prison.
