Tax returns released by Presidential nominees

[lovemydog]

I'd like to know how many years' tax returns each party's nominee has publicly released in the modern era.

Like this:

Year D Nominee Released R Nominee Released
2008 Obama __ years McCain __ years
2004 Kerry __ years W. Bush __ years
2000 Gore __ years W. Bush __ years
1996 Clinton __ years Dole __ years
1992 Clinton __ years H. Bush __ years
1988 Dukakis __ years H. Bush __ years
1984 Mondale __ years Reagan __ years
etc.

It might provide perspective on why it's so unusual that Romney is only releasing two years.

. .Important Notes: Paper copies of the returns can be ordered from Tax Analysts using the associated document numbers. Copies are also available from the Bush, Carter, Nixon, Reagan, and Roosevelt presidential libraries.

Two caveats: (1) Some of the images are of mediocre quality, reflecting the poor photocopies released by the White House. We're searching for better copies and will make them available as soon as possible; (2) most of the missing years reflect a quirk of the calendar. Presidents release tax returns only for years they serve in office and only while they still hold that office. Consequently, Jimmy Carter did not release a return for 1980 nor did Ronald Reagan release one for 1988 — each left office before returns were due. Likewise incoming presidents do not release returns for the year before they assumed office, even though they hold office when returns for that year come due.

6. So other than Romney, McCain is the only nominee for president in modern history...

...to release only two years of tax returns. That sure worked out great for McCain didn't it?

[RedStateLiberal]

11. Actually, I just realized there is incomplete data to make that claim

based on that one web page.

3. Kerry released 20. Please note Romney has been lying about Kerry

[politicasista]

8. +1

Wish that Obama/Biden could just smack down posts like these and Pro O/B Dem strategists, but that is not their style.


Thanks for sticking up for Senator Kerry and President Obama.

4. Ann Romney 2010

Did she file separately ..... similar to Theresa Heinz Kerry? An interesting parallel

[JHB]

5. Do we have numbers for wives, where applicable?

7. Look at the types Rmoney has, too:

9. hypocrisy

Ann it seems very much the heiress ala Theresa .... with own separate fortune ...and Rmoney goes on TV giving Theresa's non-release of returns as a defense.... glass house

[emulatorloo]

10. Yep. Romney is desperate, so he tries to change the subject.
