There are a few issues,
(1) taxes are so complicated that it's unlikely that anyone who has to file a partnership or corporate return would do so error free. The more complex the business structure the more complex the taxes and the more likely it would raise questions about its accuracy. Couple that with prosecutorial discretion in a system where products are politically appointed and you have the foundation for political mischief.
(2) it's unlikely that tax information, bank information, credit card information, legal document filings etc can be kept confidential. Too many people in the information chain to spill the beans.

@eli1601 they are trying to get Trump on tax fraud like they did Al Capone. it is a last ditch effort to keep him from running. this guy was a plant at the IRS

Nothing is illegal if you don't get caught. The takeaway being if Trump evaded taxes by the tens of millions the real crime belongs to the guy who found out what Trump got away with...
Sorta like if you really believe something then it's true.

What false accusations? I posed a hypothetical not an absolute.
I'm not about to get into a Trump/Biden,Pelosi,Schiff, Menendez,whomever duel with you. One thing though, if you guys like to act childishly (listing the names of the dumbocrat politicians with small caps, then you should be as gracious as you can possibly be and expect to be called maggots from now on. Deal?

No but I remember that both Charlie Rangel and Timothy Geithner both involved with writing tax law and one the Head of the Treasury. Both had serious tax issues as in non payment of taxes.

@soar2newhighs Didn't Geithner fail to file and pay his self employment tax? That's 15% of his self employment earnings that he tried to cheat on. For anyone who has ever filled out tax returns it's almost impossible to skip that. On the IRS's side it's an obvious enough omission that a computer would catch it and flag it, The IRS gets a copy of the 1099 to compare against your tax return. The only way to try to slip it past the IRS is by misrepresenting earned income as passive income.
@Heartlander I know he had tax issues; but being the secretary of the treasury , he needed to make sure his skeletons didn’t get noticed. He didn’t and he was found out.

@soar2newhighs we never got to see how he tried to slip that by. It was treated like an “Oops? I didn’t know…”
