Ted Cruz filed for IRS extension, pledges to release his tax return

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON – Millions of Americans scrambled to get their tax returns to the IRS this week. Countless others filed for an extension – including Sen. Ted Cruz.

The presidential candidate plans to file next month, and he will release his return publicly then, said campaign spokesman Rick Tyler.

“It’s just busy, and taxes are complicated,” Tyler said.

Indeed it has been a busy month for Cruz. He launched his White House bid on March 23 and has been stumping and fund-raising ever since. He’ll be in New Hampshire this weekend.

In January 2012, during his bid for the Senate nomination in Texas, Cruz released five years worth of tax returns that showed that he and wife Heidi Nelson Cruz donated 1 percent of their income to charity. In 2010, the most recent year released, they made just over $2 million.

1. Too busy to do his taxes? He (the 1%) have people to do that for them.

I smell Koch Tea in the air and think he's hiding something.

2. Charitable giving isn't foul language, he just has a different definition

Cruz undoubtedly believes his campaign and those PACs that help him are charities.
