The House Ways and Means Committee released its review of Donald Trump’s tax returns Tuesday night and was preparing to make the former president’s tax filings public in the coming days.
A report from Chairman Richard E. Neal, D-Mass., said that the IRS process for auditing presidents’ tax returns needs an overhaul. It said the agency only launched one mandatory examination while Trump was in office and completed no audits. An accompanying report from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation detailed data on Trump’s reported tax information and identified areas it believed warranted deeper review.
Neal told reporters that the committee would release Trump’s returns themselves in “a few days” because staff needed time to redact personal data. The committee gained access to six years of Trump’s individual income tax returns and filings for related business entities.
