Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to require the disclosure of tax returns of Presidents and Vice Presidents and certain candidates for President and Vice President, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Presidential Tax Transparency Act, would require presidential and vice presidential candidates as well as sitting presidents and vice presidents to publicly disclose their income tax returns for the 10 most recent years. The bill provides a definition of "income tax return" and outlines the timeline for submitting the returns to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). If a candidate or office holder fails to disclose their returns, the FEC can request them directly from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The bill also amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow the IRS to disclose these tax returns to the FEC, which would then make them publicly available with certain identifying information redacted.
