Trump's taxes

Approx. 5 years back Trump promised to release his tax returns once they were done being audited. Would it be possible for Biden's people to update us on the status of that "eternal" audit?

1. Might be difficult?

Trump's tax returns are hugely complex with all the tax avoidance schemes and such.

3. Privacy issue

I believe some court cases already have his taxes or at least some of the Trump Org. returns? Couldn't the Treasury dept. simply state there's no audit preventing their release?
