the best answer to this question is do you honestly think that if Romney had NOT paid his taxes that the IRS which currently answers to Barack Obama would not be all over him?
Yes the IRS doesn't need to ask him for his Tax records because they already have them.
Not only is it a stunt but worse is people are stupid enough to fall for it.

Well here's a way of getting Romney to release his tax records: accuse him of not paying taxes for 10 years. The heat is getting turned up on Mitt Romney to release his tax records. The claim seems to be outrageous and inflammatory, but may in fact be true. We won't know the real truth unless Romney releases historical tax records. Is Senator Reid right -- or is this all just a political stunt?

FOXNEWS.COM reports:
Mitt Romney called on Harry Reid Tuesday to reveal the source for his claim that the Republican presidential candidate has not paid taxes for 10 years, stepping up pressure as two major fact-check sites ruled Reid had no basis for the incendiary allegation.

Geithner didn't pay Social Security and Medicare taxes while he worked for the International Monetary Fund between 2001 and 2004. As an American citizen working for the IMF, Mr. Geithner was technically considered self-employed and was required to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for himself as both an employer and an employee, reports the Wall Street Journal. In 2006, the IRS audited Mr. Geithner's 2003 and 2004 taxes and concluded he owed taxes and interest totaling $17,230, according to documents released by the Senate Finance Committee. The IRS waived the related penalties, the Journal reports.
The machine gun-mouthed Schultz, who never misses an opportunity to attack Mitt Romney for the wealth he has accumulated, spent a week on a Caribbean cruise staying in the Royal Caribbean Line’s most expensive cabin on the Oasis of the Seas. Debbie, her husband Steve, and her three children spent a week in the “Royal Loft Suite” which is priced at $33,151.65 for a family of five.
While Debbie has been slamming Romney for having “offshore” investments, she has maintained a Swiss bank account, an interest in an offshore drug company, and another account in the Bank of India. Through all of this, the pathetic Wasserman Schultz has called Romney a “One percenter”, trying to make the case that Romney’s wealth means he cannot relate to the average American.
During an interview in February, Schultz, whose government salary is $174,000, said she is “middle class”, despite having an income three times the $54,194 medium salary in her Congressional District – FL 20.
We should also look at her tax records.She has been cheating somewhere along the way.
...this only makes people wonder what exactly is he trying to hide.

...you do realize that Romney hasn't released his college transcripts either.
I have a source but choose not to name him/her, but trust me, the source is impeccable.
Harry Reid needs to prove his innocence, show me your browser history Harry
McCarthy had anonymous documents that people were communists. Reid has anonymous documents that Romney didn't pay his taxes.
Hey! Maybe I have anonymous documents that say Pelosi was a hooker at one time. Let her prove she wasn't. Do the 34% of you giving Reid a pass on this see where it can go? Stop drinking to koolaid and demand Reid resign is disgrace.
