I slogged through 203 pages of Romney's 2010 federal returns

That a DUer kindly posted a link to. Unless I am stupid, I STILL didn't see the 2010 STATE returns there. Can anyone confirm they have not been released and if so how do we get that out to the media?

There should be a MA tax return. He probably only release the federal return.

So if he paid the taxes why aren't the returns available? Again, why aren't the returns public? And why isn't the media even MSNBC and Current reporting on it?

If romney filed (paid) State taxes in 2010, it would be a noted line item, with a dollar amount, on the Federal Schedule A.

It doesn't matter if he released the actual State Documents. One doesn't file a 203 page tax document and omit a line item that is a required field (on the 1st pass) in TurboTax.

But in which state? Massachusetts where he voted but owned no property but voted or another state where he owned property but didn't vote? The point is was Mass. the proper place for him to vote? That's why knowing which state he paid taxes in is important which is why the state tax forms should be released.
