It's (generally) not the IRS's job to investigate a business person for taking business-related dollars from foreign countries. Trump Co., has already said some of their investments involve Russia. The more recent calls for tax returns are in relation to allegations that Trump (and the Republican party) may have been working — knowingly or otherwise — working with Russia. Which may or may not be illegal.

Personally, I don't think there's anything in there really connecting Trump to Russia. But I still think it's a bad precedent. Presidents for a while now have been releasing their returns as a show of good faith and transparency. I think that's something that should continue, even if it doesn't generally show how financially committed a POTUS is to outside influences.
