Congressman Sets April 23 Deadline for IRS To Turn Over Trump's Tax Returns

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Richard Neal (D - MA) set an April 23 deadline for the IRS to turn over President Trump’s tax returns. Neal said the law gives Congress the right to six years of Trump’s personal and business tax returns. If April 23 passes without the tax returns being provided or a resolution being met, House Democrats and the Trump administration may end up in federal court. The administration missed an April 10 deadline as Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin consulted with the Justice Department about the law to determine whether Neal had a legitimate legislative purpose to make the request. Under the law, Neal can request any taxpayer’s returns and the Treasury Department “shall furnish” them.
