Many suspect he is deeply in debt to and sustained by various Russian banks. A positive cash flow would dispel some of that concern.

I personally doubt he is, but it’s a more reasonable concern considering how unwilling he is to disclose his financial situation.

Are there people who suspect this who are not qanon or similar nutjobs?

Why do they suspect that?

Would a positive cash flow dispel any of that concern? If people are up in arms about what seems to be suspicion, why would anything on his tax return make any suspicion go away?

For context, the main "Russian bank" that people suspect Trump of being deeply in debt to is Deutsche Bank. Releasing his tax returns wouldn't help with those concerns because they're already so tenuously related to the facts that any release would just supply more bits of information that could be spun somehow as proof of Russian ties.
