The presumptive Republican nominee refuses to release his tax returns, citing an investigation by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump took heat for not releasing his tax returns, something that U.S. presidential candidates have done for decades, and a measure both democratic presidential hopefuls, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have complied with.

Trump has said the Internal Revenue Service was auditing his returns and he wanted to wait until the review was over before making them public. "It should be, and I hope it's before the election," Trump told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Friday.

Pressed on what tax rate he pays, Trump refused to say. "It's none of your business," he said. The candidate has said there is nothing voters can learn from his tax filings.

Tax filings show sources of income, both from within the United States and other countries, as well as charitable giving, investments, deductions and other financial information.

The IRS declined to comment on whether Trump or any other presidential candidates were being audited.

However, the Trump campaign earlier this year released a letter from his attorneys saying his personal tax returns have been under "continuous examination" from the IRS.
