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 disclose their federal income tax returns. Specifically, it would mandate that candidates submit their last 10 years of returns within 15 days of becoming a "covered candidate" (a major party candidate in a general election). Sitting presidents and vice presidents would have to submit their current year's return and the prior 9 years' returns by the due date each year. The Federal Election Commission would make these tax returns publicly available, with sensitive information redacted to protect against identity theft. The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow the Secretary of the Treasury to provide these tax returns to the Federal Election Commission upon request.
