I never understood why they have to show those.

There is NO law that says a politician MUST release his/her taxes.

I think it's to prove that their income was obtained legally and to ferret out entanglements with foreign lenders that could compromise the office.

@FourWalls I suspect that there will be from now on. States are already voting to require it to get on the election ballots.

I filed mine back in early February. I didn't make a lot. In fact, I owed nearly $1,500.
As for Trump's taxes, this deeply concerns me. Our taxes are supposed to be private information, and the notion that someone leaked them should worry everyone. It might be YOUR personal information they give to the press next.

My taxes are filed and the check has been spent...lol!
I think this is just the beginning and I think he's leaking them himself or somebody in his inner circle is doing it on his behalf. He's just picking the years that will, in his view, make him look good to his supporters who equate wealth with competence. I think the past 7 weeks have proven the two do NOT necessarily go together! I think we need to see ALL his taxes going back at least two decades because the people have a right to see where his money is coming from and hopefull to be able to see if he has divided loyalties, which I think he does.

I'm not sure how relevant pages one and two of a 12 year-old 1040 are. The don't show anything about where the money was made, or how. It does show he owed more taxes than the entire staff of MSNBC, or Obama and Sanders put together.

I suspect that Trump leaked those two pages of a 2005 tax return because it shows an instance where he paid taxes. Doesn't show where he got his money or who he owes money to, which is the big issue. If he owes a lot of money to foreign powers, which is suspected, then that would be troubling.
