Isn't this the reason why he is being audited.  The IRS wants to know if he actually is doing it legally.  The president is already being investigated for Tax fraud and a few other money crimes and those investigations are waiting for him to leave office.

Being audited by the IRS is a few steps short of being accused of tax fraud.  If it's just tax lawyers arguing over whether a line of the tax code should have applied or not, which I believe is the case, then it's a fairly mundane process.

My first statement was towards yours that said he was doing his taxes legally that is why I stated he is under audit for just that purpose.  The tax fraud cause is separate since its deals on a state level but shows that there may be criminal offense.  Also depending on the tax Audit, he could be prosecuted for tax fraud if he is not able to justify his tax documents.  The assumption you made is that Trump taxes are all done legally but we actually do not if that is true.  Also you are making assumptions that only a line is out of whack which neither of us has a clue to if that is correct.  The thing is if he is found in tax fraud on a state level, he probably will go federal as well. There is a lot still going on to make any assumption at this point in time.
