So Is Jane Sanders Lying About Inability To Access Tax Records OR

[KittyWampus]

or is she lying about using TurboTax?

Cause both claims can't be true.

She claims they used TurboTax. If true, all you need to do is log onto TurboTax to access files.

No need to go home and sort through boxes. Being "busy" is a non-issue.

So which is it, Jane? Do you use TurboTax or not? If you do, release your tax records. If you don't, why did you say you did?

You KNOW the media would be beating this to death if it were the Clintons.

1. it could be they use the desktop software.

apparently that's still a thing

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. I use the desktop verison of Turbo Tax

Turbo Tax Deluxe to be exact. It saves all your info in the PDF form. I'm pretty certain it would take no major effort on her part to get their complete 2014 returns.

[geek tragedy]

19. Oh this is definitely "the dog ate our tax returns" territory nt

[LiberalFighter]

24. Well it might be a major effort for her.

She might not know what is a pdf file. Or know that there are files on her computer.

[Lucinda]

27. Yep. And I think it only stores on your computer, but she could access

her taxes from the IRS.

[upaloopa]

2. You log in and print any year that was done on TuboTax

I do it all the time when applying for loans

Most people print and save the file when they do their taxes.

[question everything]

5. But you need your username and password. I know I don't have them away form home.

Still, this is something they should have expected.

Oh, they will release their taxes when they "are due." Meaning the 2015 return and why will be very careful this time. I doubt we will have find out what made $53,000 itemized deductions in 2014. Unless the IRS will audit them but even the, we will not know the outcome.

[George II]

11. They "are due" on Monday. Hard to believe she hasn't completed them yet though.

[BlueMTexpat]

15. They could have filed for an

extension.

As a US citizen who primarily resides abroad, I usually have an automatic filing extension to June, although I must show that I was not physically present in the US in April to avoid a late filing fee. This year and last, I have been physically present in the US and have thus filed federal and state returns before the April deadline.

The automatic extension only avoids late fees; it does not exempt me from interest owed on any outstanding tax due.

[George II]

16. She said yesterday in her Bloomberg that she would not file for an extension.

[BlueMTexpat]

22. Oops. then she'd better

get cracking!

[William769]

17. All you have to do is to as for a username or password reminder to be sent to your e-mail account.

I'm sure they remember what they need to know to get their campaign contributions.

[geek tragedy]

20. given their repeated scoldings from the FEC, not so sure ... nt

[misterhighwasted]

3. Yes. Now why would't she just tell the truth..why? hmmm

Follow the money

[artyteacher]

4. i think the IRS can send you a copy...

Of your returns....


They just don't want to admit they're rich 1%ers.

[Gomez163]

6. Form 4506-T

[hrmjustin]

7. I wonder if he has an investment in a fossil fuel company.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Might be more than fossil fuel, after all Congress gets "tips" before the rest of us do.

[George II]

13. More than half of their investments (I didn't to the detailed math) are in mutual funds and....

.....securities. Intrinsically they have to have investments in fossil fuel companies, "Wall Shtreet", etc. Plus, he is getting a pension from Burlington, virtually every pension fund includes investments in a variety of businesses, securities, bonds, mutual funds.

They just don't have any invested directly in those, but they're profiting from them.

[BlueMTexpat]

21. This is what all too many do not realize.

ANYONE with a pension plan, 401K or individual investments in mutual funds is actually benefiting from the financial system so decried by SBS advocates. And yes, the managers of large pension funds, 401K funds or other mutual funds most likely have invested at least some amounts in fossil fuels to diversify their portfolios. They would likely be failing in their fiduciary duties if not doing so. Those duties include making the best return for their investors, i.e., pension funds and 401Ks.

Those who are students and whose parents/grandparents set up 529 accounts or trusts of other types to help with higher education also profit from the investments the 529 accounts/trusts include, which may also include investments in fossil fuels. Ironically, many students who have the leisure to campaign for Bernie are profiting from these.

They really do need to think about this seriously. These casual pronouncements that certain things are intrinsically "evil" simply do not reflect the complexities of the real world. The "Bernie or bust" memes are simply ridiculous. Bernie is being very disingenuous in his whole approach.

8. This is supposed to be a presidential contender?

A US Senator?

As soon as my family started claiming tax deductions outside of EZ Form 1040, we went to 3rd party tax help - like H&R Block.

For just IRS transparency!

A career politician has his wife do it on a desk top?

What's that word?

"Judgment."

[Thinkingabout]

10. Yes, JUDGEMENT.

[Iliyah]

12. "Judgement" in deed

A bad one tho.

[Historic NY]

23. Last time I ever did a short form I was 20yrs old.....

was leaving too much on the table according to accountant. I was missing a lots of deductions mileage, depreciation of work related equipment...etc. The IRS still owes me a grand that neither they nor the accountant can find or explain.

[yallerdawg]

29. My last short form was 1990.

I started claiming job-related sales expenses, mileage, earned income tax credit, dependent children - itemizing.

Last year we had kids in college and on health insurance. Tax credits and deductions.

Bernie and Jane just blissfully filed away on the internet or mailed it in? I don't think so.

[William769]

14. It's a flat out lie.

Just like the majority of his campaign has been.

They are hiding something as usual.

[Lucinda]

25. If she has the ap on her computer it may not store the files online.

The online filing process holds for 7 years, but I think if you buy the program and install it, the records stay on your system.

She should still be able to access them easily through the Federal system though, without having to go home.

[livetohike]

26. She's either lying, or she's ignorant, or she thinks we are ignorant of how this works. These two

want to live in the White House. They can't even organize their own household. He doesn't know how to use the subway. How common are they?

[Her Sister]

28. Okee!!!

[Loki]

30. I just helped our kids do Turbo Tax,

does she think we are all stupid?

[enid602]

31. jane

Golly gee wiz. I sure hope she didn't do to bern's taxes what she did to Burlington College's balance sheet, loan default and subsequent accreditation woes.
