In May 2014, Trump told an Irish television station that he would 'absolutely' release his tax returns if he entered the presidential race. 'If I decide to run for office, I'll produce my tax returns, absolutely,' he said. 'And I would love to do that.'
Trump ultimately changed his mind after an adviser says he convinced him not to release his taxes, and he has spent years claiming he can't because he's under audit by the IRS. Sam Nunberg, Trump's political adviser from 2011 to August 2015, tells CNN that during a meeting he had with Trump in the summer of 2013 at Trump Tower, the future president said he was comfortable releasing his tax returns and, even, that he thought it would be a good idea.
It's this last reason that is closest to the truth, according to Nunberg, who told CNN it's his impression that Trump's real motivation for not releasing his taxes was a simple matter of vanity. A tax return of a New York real estate developer typically makes them look much less wealthy than they really are, on account of complex rules that include the ability for owners of profit-making buildings to write them off as losses.
