Donald Trump’s tax returns from 2015 to 2021 to be made public by US House committee

After a battle in the US Supreme Court, the Democrats-controlled committee is set to release the tax returns of former US president Donald Trump on Friday.

Agencies
The tax returns of Donald Trump, former US president, will be made public on Friday, December 28. The return tax papers are expected to include the records of the returns he filed from 2015 to 2021, covering the presidency and pre-presidency period.

A US House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee spokesperson released the information of the much-awaited news. The Democrats obtained the tax return papers of Donald Trump after the investigation and a lengthy court battle. The issue reached the US Supreme Court, where the decision was made in favour of the investigation committee.

The investigation committee obtained the papers last month. It released a report which states that Donald Trump was not audited for three years during his four years presidency by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), breaking the rules of the IRS.


The committee said it did not release the returns records last week because the paper contains sensitive information such as Social Security Numbers, bank account numbers, and PINs. The committee is set to release all information on the returns this Friday after redacting the sensitive information.
