Who has had an audit that taken over a year to be settled?

They are still using that excuse for Trump's excuse!

1. It took me FOUR years to get my 2012 refund

thanks to the moron Republicans shutting the government down. I got stuck in an IRS computer feedback loop. After visits to the office and submitting multiple copies of the return, I sat on my hands until I got a nasty letter about not submitting a return that year with somebody's name on it. My return letter probably singed the hair in his nose because I got my refund three weeks later.

The IRS can be weird, yo, especially if your return is complicated. There is no reason not to let someone see your return no matter if it is being audited. The IRS itself has said that.

2. In the Con's case, it could be true. One of his standard methods is to delley, delay, delay.

In a complex audit, the taxpayer rarely brings every bit of documentation with them at the first meeting. They are ordered to return with the require info in xxx days/weeks. There are all kind of ways to extend that time. At each meeting the taxpayer is missing yet another document. I NEVER side with the Con, but in this case it COULD BE TRUE.

3. But, don't use it as an excuse!

Sounds childish to me. Like the dog ate my homework! Or just say that he does want release them, then at least he is honest?

5. How did you EVER get the idea the Con could EVER be HONEST??? ;o) nt

7. I was being sarcastic!

4. I hit 18 months

But that was almost entirely because the IRS couldn't effectively communicate with itself and along the way just randomly decided I had a lawyer I had never heard of and just started firing correspondence into a black hole.

Of course it would have taken all of ten minutes of research to figure out there really was no issue in the first place.

6. I think Trump is being audited for several years?

He has been indulging himself in the old Al Capone scheme.

I would hope the next President would recommend an FBI Taskforce to investigate his finances and to see why there are so many audits? He has not paid any federal income taxes for many years, yet he continues to brag about how much money he has made. I think the FBI should do a thorough investigation.
