Mitt Romney Files 2011 Tax Return

What gives?


Governor Mitt and Mrs. Ann Romney filed their 2011 tax return with the IRS. At 3 p.m. today, the Romney for President campaign published the complete 2011 tax return, with full schedules, statements and attachments.


Most of the American public files only one tax return per household. The tax returns on Gov. Romney’s public disclosure site will make your head spin because he and wife, Ann, filed together, singly for their respective trusts and a family trust was also filed.
