Romney paid taxes for each of past 20 years, says campaign
(CNN) - GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney paid taxes every year between 1990 and 2009, a notarized letter from his accountant will say, according to Romney's campaign.
Romney's full 2011 return, along with the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, will be posted later Friday on Romney's campaign website.

Why is he not releasing at least page 1 and 2 of Form 1040 for each of those years (1990 through 2009)?
Wonder how much Romney's dancing horse write-off was in 2011?
We are not impressed! He has had plenty of time to get the d- taxes filed and failed to do so when the American people really needed to see them. He did not show them during the primaries, when his opponents wanted to see them. Now, with his campaign's in-fighting and his overseas blunders as well as his closed door discriminatory remarks, he's trying to offer us some sorry "letter" from his "paid" accountant stating that he paid. Again, Willard...we are not impressed!
Notarized letter, Price waterhouse, so late in the game......I smell a rat.
Obama, why did you let Americans die in Libya?
Is his accountant under oath and the penalties and pains of perjury? No? Then screw this nonsense.
PWC is hired by companies so Romney hired them to clean up his taxes. He waited to last minute to make sure all taxes were paid before giving only two years. I will not trust PWC since they were hired by the Romneys to look out for their interest. When PWC says "You do all the talking, we do all the listening" in their "about us" statement tells all. Now if a government agency looked over the taxes like the CBO it would be credible. Sorry Mitt but no good.
He's a tax cheat. Period. And a social Darwinist on top of it. How on Earth did the GOTea think this guy was electable?
It's not the question of whether he paid taxes or not. It's the question of how much taxes he paid. It could be just 1% he paid in some of the years. Why doesn't he release his taxes instead of a notarized letter. Does he think the people just dumb enough to accept the notarized letter from his accountant?
Oh look, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the company with almost 200K emlpoyees worldwide and billions in revenue that the GOP/teatrolls consider a "small business" solely beacuse it's income is reported as an S-corporation on very few peoples' personal income tax returns! YAWN!
MAKE THEM PUBLIC and prove it.
So he paid a dollar each year, to say he 'paid taxes.' Okay, NOW he's a patriotic American.
What a farce. Go away Mitt.
Willard you still owe us 8 years of tax returns. NO Willard a note will not DO.
The Voters still think something stinks in those returns. Prove us wrong post a full ten years.
BTW 14% on nearly 14 million income. You should be ashamed of yourself' I am retired with a small pension from the private sector. a small 401k and Social Security. I am pay over 22%.
Willard for president NEVER
Taxes... So does everybody who purchases a good/ service... Federal INCOME taxes? Amnesty?
And what was the rates?
Yeah, and all probably at or below the 14% rate he paid last year. Why is he hiding this info? Why isn't the GOP after him as part of the group of people not paying their fair share of taxes? Oh, right, because he's rich.
PWC was hired by the Romneys. PWC states "you do all the talking, we do all the listening" in their "about us" mission statement to their clients. The taxes have been adjusted. Mitt, you have told so many lies, your wife defends your lies, your vp choice is also a major liar and waiting so long for only 2 years. As for the statement by PWC stating you owed taxes for 20 years is expected. Everyone owes, but what have you paid. And you give only an average of 20 years which can have some owed but reduced to zero. So nice try but no bueno. You are such a deceiver
Ha, ha, ha... Notarized from his accountant?!?! The ones Mitt pays... Oh yes... Another "trust me" moment. No thanks.
Show us your TAX RETURNS!!
Just one more week to see Romney's tax returns for real, assuming the heist at his accountant's office wasn't bogus, and assuming Romney didn't pay the blackmail. It's sad that we have to look to blackmailers to flesh out his resume.
Prove it!
I would not trust Romney to walk my dog..
He and Ryan are the biggest Con-Artists that ever came down the pike!
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP? Okay, now I know where to go for my money laundering... Um, uh, I mean, taxes done.
OBAMA 2012!
Well yeah! The IRS takes notice, when millionaires don't pay!
Obama = America's destruction.
This is freekin PATHETIC. He's such a chickensh-t coward that he won't produce them AND wil try to make an end-run around it? Haha. Wow. Survey says: his magic undies are lace.
Notice it still didn't say "federal income taxes". He's hiding the true nature of his returns, and I'm guessing one of the things that we would find out if he release back years is that he was given amnesty by the IRS for illegally hiding income.
