For decades, presidents, vice presidents, and presidential nominees have voluntarily released their tax returns. This convention ended when Donald Trump refused to release his returns. This led to a protracted legal battle and years of redacted returns being publicly released by the House Ways and Means committee. Chris Mines is joined by William Rice, policy consultant with Americans for Tax Fairness. They discuss Trump's tax filings and the required resources for complex audits, the red flags in the IRS's oversight, and potential steps to make the tax system more equitable. Some of the topics covered in this course include: • How tax returns lead to greater transparency • Evaluating the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling • IRS audits for serving U.S. presidents • Future IRS funding amid debt ceiling negotiations • If there is a two-tiered tax system and more!
