I haven't looked at the return but I know from personal experience that, if his charitable donations were in the form of appreciated securities [and they should have been] then there is a deductibility limit of 30% of income.  The excess can be carried forward into future years.

I don't know about that stuff.  But I do know these libs whined about taxes for weeks on end.  And what do we get today?  Threads about his ran, something about the military and hanging chairs.

More info:


Additionally, the Romney campaign is releasing a summary of 20 years of taxes, between 1990-2009, detailing their tax expenditures during those years:



In each year during the entire 20-year period, the Romneys owed both state and federal income taxes.
Over the entire 20-year period, the average annual effective federal tax rate was 20.20%.
Over the entire 20-year period, the lowest annual effective federal personal tax rate was 13.66%.
Over the entire 20-year period, the Romneys gave to charity an average of 13.45% of their adjusted gross income.
Over the entire 20-year period, the total federal and state taxes owed plus the total charitable donations deducted represented 38.49% of total AGI.
</blockquote>UPDATE: Here's Mitt and Ann Romney's 2011 tax return:

Libs want to see the actual 2009 return in particular, not a bullet-point summary.

One thing the libs were quoting was Romney himself, stating that if he had ever paid more tax than is legally required, he would be disqualified to be president.

What's evident is a diddling with his return between when it was due and the date the extension was to expire, plus the ability to amend those taxes after the fact.  Libs want to see tax returns that are past the date he can diddle with 'em.

What libs want is a campaign ad to divert from the failures of Obama.

The list of things that cons complain are Obama's failures turn out to be the best reasons to re-elect him.
