Bill > S1272

This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code and the Ethics in Government Act to provide for examination and disclosure of presidential income tax returns. Specifically, it requires the IRS to conduct an examination of a president's income tax return and publicly report on the status and findings of the examination. It also requires presidents and presidential candidates to disclose their past three years of income tax returns to the Office of Government Ethics and Federal Election Commission, respectively, which will then make those returns publicly available with certain redactions. The bill also allows the IRS to disclose presidential and candidate tax returns to these government offices for the purposes of this new disclosure requirement.
