Washington — The House Ways & Means Committee now has access to several years of former President Donald Trump's tax records, days after the Supreme Court declined to block their release.

The Treasury Department said in a brief statement that it has "complied with last week's court decision." ...

...The dispute between Trump and the Ways and Means Committee arose from an April 2019 request from Chairman Richard Neal to the Internal Revenue Service for Trump's individual tax records and those of eight of his business entities for 2013 to 2018....

...After the change in presidential administrations, and with the court fight ongoing, Neal renewed his request for five years of income tax returns from Trump and his businesses for 2015 to 2020....

The article is unclear as to which years, or if all from 2013 to 2020 were released to the House.

Democrats will probably find Trump is owed money back.

LAUGH BREAK. Biden releases his tax forms, showing that
he and his wife, Jill Biden, earned just over $600,000 in 2020.

By Jim Tankersley, May 17, 2021, NY Times

President Biden released tax forms on Monday showing that he and his wife, Jill Biden, earned just over $600,000 in 2020.

The Bidens paid an effective federal income tax rate of 25.9 percent after donating about 5 percent of their income to charity, the documents showed. Their total federal income tax bill was just over $157,000. For 2019, the Bidens had an adjusted gross income of $985,000 and paid federal income taxes of nearly $288,000.

Both the presidential and the vice-presidential households appear to fall safely in the top 1 percent of American income earners, based on statistics from the Internal Revenue Service. And both would face tax increases this year if Mr. Biden succeeds in pushing Congress to raise a variety of taxes on high earners, as he is proposing to help fund nearly $2 trillion in new spending and incentives meant to strengthen education, child care, paid leave and other social programs.

Much of the Bidens’ income came from pensions, including Mr. Biden’s government pension from his years as a senator and vice president. That disbursement will pause now that Mr. Biden has re-entered the government, White House officials say.

Jill Biden received nearly $300,000 in income — including income from business profits — from an S corporation controlled by the Bidens, which received money in 2020 from two publishing houses, Simon & Schuster and Flatiron.

An S corporation is a small business designation that allows business income, credits and deductions to pass through to shareholders.

Now the RAT death threats and “you’ll never work on this planet again!” threats from the RATS can begin. That’s what this was all about. Commie RATS doxxing everybody whose name or company’s name is found attached to these forkin’ tax returns. The far-left Nazis are on a roll. America has become Nazi Germany.

“The article is unclear as to which years, or if all from 2013 to 2020 were released to the House.”

All they want is “look Trump is a tax cheat” without showing us the information.
Nothing will come of this, its ‘hopium’ for rabid Trump haters.

The media has been ‘playing’ these ignorant buffoons for 7 years now.

“The eat this crap up and like it.”

If I thought Trump had done something wrong, I might be
persuaded to allow this. I still think it is an invasion
of his civil rights based on the FACT they haven’t found
a mere hint that he screwed with his taxes. And if folks
don’t think the IRS has going over his returns for the
last quarter century, they’re not following along too well.

On January 1st, 2023, the House can subpoena Chief Justice Roberts tax returns for the past 20 years to see how the IRS audits the Chief Justice. The precedent has been set.

That would be funny.

They better move fast because ‘times a wasting.’

So Roberts thinks the Fourth Amendment is toilet paper?

I think this is the law they went after Andrew Mellon with.
I’m not even sure they can release this information to the public.

Even if they do, how many people will understand or give a rip?

Tax information is “Boring.”

The SC has legitimized strolling through every government employee tax return. Pelosi’s should be the first on in the new House, followed seconds later by Fauci’s. Then you line up chief Justice Robert’s for his tax return inspection.

Blazing fast document production from a federal agency, especially considering the long holiday weekend.

The headline should be: “The NY Times accidentally releases several years of Trump’s taxes, unredacted”

Trump appointees Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett have not worked out so well for Trump.

They have worked out great for McConnell.

My sentiments as well ... I doubt there is anyone in the USA that makes big bucks or is worth more than a few million that hasn’t had an IRS audit so deep that it would make a proctologist envious. Even the IRS knows to follow the money. Getting a big fine from someone who files a short form is unlikely and hence is a waste of resources. PDJT’s auditors are paid big bucks to NOT screw things up so if there ever was a significant tax issue in the past, PDJT would already be in jail.

The new Congressional Ways and Means ‘panel’ should be submitting the SAME request for Joe Biden’s tax records and do the same thing they’re trying to do to Trump now.

Uh, not quite. But close to it.

Keep in mind the committee has access to ANY American’s tax returns. The question is will they LEAK private info to embarrass Trump?

The second part of that is this same committee will be run by Republicans next year. Start subpoenas for Hunter, and Joe Biden, Pelosi, George Soros and every elected democRAT.
