Romney files an extention for his 2011 tax return... what's the problem here?
"Sometime in the next six months, and prior to the election, Gov. Romney will file and release the 2011 return when there is sufficient information to provide an accurate return," wrote Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul in an email to reporters. Six months from now would be Oct. 13, weeks before the election.

Everybody has all of the information they need in order to file their taxes on time.
One reason for which to delay your filing is laziness.
In Romney's case it is probably that he is trying to get insight into tax code revisions for next year and to decide what he will differ into next year's filing.
Business people have the flexibility to shift expenses and incomes into the next year's filing. It's a perk of being in certain businesses.
Or yes, maybe he is hiding something until the last minute.
