That's a bingo!
Can't wait for the gop debates for primaries. Trump will zoom in from jail and people will still vote for him. >

Trump could be a mass-murderer or serial killer and millions of people would still kiss his feet. >

Not nearly as efficient running up the body count like he did with his intentional mishandling of COVID, but it was one of the few times he's told the truth. >

Sees Democrat-heavy areas get hit first since they’re generally more heavily populated.  Does nothing in order to kill off his perceived enemies.  Realizes the shameful infection/hospitalization/death numbers in America probably makes him look bad.  Tries to stop testing to artificially manipulate said numbers.  Takes credit for vaccine, then sees his base love anti-vax conspiracies.  Pushes pretend miracle cures and discourages masks in order to save face in the short term.  Ends up killing a ton of people in his own base.
Really seems like Trump and the rest of the GOP are only capable of thinking like ten minutes ahead.  Mixed with the fact that they’re only in it for themselves, that’s a recipe for disaster.  
The short-sightedness alone is reason enough to never vote Republican.  That’s not even bringing in the cruelty, fear-mongering, corruption, complete lack of substantive policy, batshit crazy candidates, etc.   The GOP is completely unfit to serve. >

And the whole time he wasn’t being audited, he was claiming he couldn’t release his returns because he was being audited >

His 2011 audit was still ongoing. >

No it wasn't. The reason is after after 7 years you are free from anything. >

IRS Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) allows up to 10 years to collect.
Also potentially important, from IRC 25.6.1.9.5.2, "There is no period of limitations on assessment for a false or fraudulent return with intent to evade tax."
Edit: Don't listen to the other persons comment about being free after 7 years. If you didn't file a tax return or intentionally didn't claim tips 10 years ago, the IRS can still go after you. >

Allows, but most do not take that long.  In fact this one should not have. >

You stated matter of factly that you are free from anything after 7 years which is untrue and that is what I was correcting. I think it is important to correct because if he were to get busted for tax fraud from 10+ years ago people who read misinformation about the statute of limitations will get up in arms about it when they don't understand that the IRS is actually able to go back more than 7 years. 
Most may not take that long, but considering the dollar amount and the number of subsidiaries, it is the exact type of audit that could stretch out to 6+ years. Which at the time he made the claims back in 2015-2016 would still be under 6 years. 
If it ever was under audit, should it have been completed sooner? Absolutely, given the importance of his position. >


You stated matter of factly that you are free from anything after 7 years

You can destroy financial records after 7 years unless on legal hold.  You don't have to keep the records.
"Keep records for 3 years from the date you filed your original return or 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later, if you file a claim for credit or refund after you file your return. Keep records for 7 years if you file a claim for a loss from worthless securities or bad debt deduction" >

Yes, records retention is seven years, but that still doesn't make you "free from anything." And as you said, "unless on legal hold," which if he really was under audit would mean all of those records should still be retained. >

Legal hold means that the government has asked you to hold the records because of an investigation.  If you have already destroyed them in regular business process then they can't place a hold on  hem. >

I'm well aware. But at the time he made the claim of being under audit it still would have been within the seven year timeframe you mentioned so the records would still have been available. 
It doesn't matter though. I don't know why you are even bringing up the auditee's record retention requirements. The claim you made was that they are free from anything after 7 years, which isn't true. If the IRS finds evidence of fraud, whether from their own audit, a whistleblower, or a congressional investigation, there is no statute of limitations, regardless of whether or not record retention requirements were followed. >

Because the guy Trump installed as the Head of the IRS was in his pocket. Lock them all up. >

Not only that, but the IRS inspector general is a partisan holdover from the Bush admin. He famously gave (misleading?) testimony that made the 2013 "IRS targeting scandal" seemed nefarious and biased against conservatives. >

You may as well ask why the IRS doesn't go after the Church of Scientology. >

When trumpism legally becomes a religion we will really be doomed >

Uh, it's there now; the people I know who support Trump claim he's Jesus - seriously. They pray to him... >

Where's Bartleby and Loki when you need 'em? >

because the head of IRS was appointed by Trump.
