Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told the Associated Press releasing his tax returns before the November election would be a waste of time.<br />In the interview, Trump said “there’s nothing to learn” from his tax returns and dismissed the idea that voters had a right to see them.<br />There is no legal requirement for a presidential candidate to make his or her tax returns public, but every major party nominee since 1976 has done so.<br />Analysts believe Trump likely pushed the envelope to turn ordinary income into capital gains, and deferred the payment of tax through like-kind exchanges.<br />The tax returns may also validate how much income he receives from licensing his name.
