Message: [QUOTE="texascpa, post: 4243465, member: 468"] Yes. Stockholders don't have any more insight to tax filings, or even financial information, than anyone else. Tax filings are not public record, and quarterly/annual reports are easily accessible by anyone, even non-shareholders. Can you imagine the scrutiny and circus we would see if tax records of companies were public? And before someone argues "companies wouldn't get away with all the tax cheating they do if the public had access to their tax filings!", think about that for a minute. You would trust your own non-expert eyes versus those of the IRS's? If there is one government agency out that there that generally understands what they do better than the average joe, it's the IRS.
