The amount of income, deductions and taxes paid by and refunded to former President Donald Trump, as disclosed in his annual federal tax returns while serving in the White House, was detailed in a new report released Tuesday night by a House committee.
The report by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation was posted online shortly after the Ways and Means Committee voted to make public redacted versions of Trump’s full income tax returns, and those of eight related business entities for the tax years 2015 through 2020.
Those full returns are expected to be released in the coming days.
A separate report released by the Ways and Means committee revealed that the IRS had started an audit of just one of Trump’s tax returns while he was serving as president despite an internal policy mandating that sitting presidents have their returns audited annually.
The 39-page report by the Joint Committee on Taxation staff gives a breakdown of the highlights of Trump’s joint tax filings with his wife Melania during his time in office, and the two years he first ran for president.
The report identifies different areas that the staff thought warranted further examination, such as documentation of charitable donations claimed by the Trumps.
