Mitt Romney files for tax extension

WASHINGTON, April 13 (UPI) -- Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney Friday filed an extension for his 2011 U.S. tax return, his campaign said.

"Sometime in the next six months, and prior to the election, Governor Romney will file and release the 2011 return when there is sufficient information to provide an accurate return," campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in a statement, adding Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, will pay between $3.2 million and $3.4 million in taxes for 2011, National Journal reported.

Romney disclosed income of $21.7 million in 2010 and $20.9 million in 2011, the vast majority of which came from investment interest and dividends. His 2010 return indicated he paid $3 million in taxes, or 14 percent.
