DEBATES/TRUMP TAXES: [Joe Biden: “Why don’t you release your tax return or stop talking about corruption?”]
“First of all, I called my accounts — under audit. I’m going to release them [tax returns] as soon as we can. I want to do it, and it will show how successful, how great this company is.
But much more importantly than that, people were saying $750. I asked them a week ago, I said, what did I pay? They said, sir, you pre-paid tens of millions of dollars. I prepaid my tax. Tens. Over the last number of years. Tens of millions of dollars, I prepaid, because at some point, they think, it’s an estimate. They think I may have to pay tax. So, I already prepaid it. Nobody told me that…
And it wasn’t written whenever they write this. They keep talking about $750, which I think is a filing fee.”
