No info about her returns or extension request

ALBANY — Actress and Democratic gubernatorial primary candidate Cynthia Nixon earlier this month said she couldn’t publicly reveal her tax returns because she filed for an extension. But Nixon’s campaign has so far declined repeated requests over the past 10 days from the Daily News to release her filing for the extension.

While the extension filing would not include many of the specifics that a full return would, including her sources of income and how much she gave in charitable donations, it would give an indication of how much money Nixon made the previous year.

According to the IRS form, Nixon (photo) would have to provide her estimated total tax liability in 2017, total 2017 payments, her balance that is due the feds, and the amount she is paying.

Nixon’s camp has not given a reason for the delay in providing the extension filing. It has been a tradition for statewide candidates to release their tax returns.

Gov. Cuomo, since taking office in 2011, has released his taxes each year.

As state attorney general, he filed for extensions, but typically released that information on Tax Day to reporters.

“When Nixon talks about transparency, it turns out she was just reading a script — no one told her this was real,” said a Democratic insider supporting Cuomo.

Meanwhile, Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro, the GOP presumptive gubernatorial nominee, has also yet to make his tax returns public.

Making tax returns available became a hot-button issue during the 2016 presidential campaign when Donald Trump refused to do so.

lll State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Controller Thomas DiNapoli say they fully expect to be on the Democratic ticket in November with Cuomo, but are not yet ready to endorse him in his primary race with Nixon. DiNapoli spokeswoman Jennifer Freeman said the controller believes “the time for endorsements is in the future.” “He supports (the) Democratic team and believes that person will be Cuomo,” Freeman said. A Schneiderman aide said virtually the same thing. And despite Cuomo’s war with the progressive Working Families Party, DiNapoli and Schneiderman will accept the party’s nominations. lll With some Democrats believing Suffolk County party Chairman Richard Schaffer is in cahoots with the Republicans, Cuomo has begun personally reaching out to potential state Senate candidates on Long Island, county Dems and Republicans say. Cuomo has spoken to at least two potential candidates about running for the seats currently held by incumbent Republicans Phil Boyle, of Bay Shore, and Tom Croci, a Sayville Republican who sources say may not seek reelection.

Some Suffolk County Dems accuse Schaffer of being more interested in holding on to power and gaining patronage jobs by cutting deals with local GOP and Conservative Party leaders than helping his own party win state office races.

The latest example, they say, is the fact that Schaffer is pushing an inexperienced 20-year-old Hofstra University student to take on Boyle.

“While the governor is going all-out, it’s clear Schaffer is not lifting a finger to recruit good candidates to run for office,” said one county Democrat.

A Cuomo official said the governor’s top priority is to flip the U.S. House and state Senate to Democratic control and has been working with all factions within the Suffolk County Democrats, including Schaffer and County Executive Steve Bellone.

A Long Island Republican who also heard Cuomo is actively recruiting state Senate candidates suggested it’s because the governor is “freaking out” over the Nixon challenge from the left and no longer has longtime chief political enforcer Joseph Percoco, who was recently convicted on three federal corruption charges.
