He wants to win the White House in 2020 and hasn’t released his tax returns.Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, one of several front-runners early in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, has yet to make his tax returns public, despite promising to do so “soon” at a CNN town hall in February.
Trump’s resistance to following the precedent set by nearly all major-party nominees over the last 40 years sparked calls for his returns from Democratic activists and officeholders. Four of the 17 official Democratic candidates have released tax returns: Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have released years of personal returns, along with Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.
Joseph Thorndike, director of the Tax History Project initiative by Tax Analysts, said Sanders’ lack of disclosure ahead of the presidential primary “doesn’t really put him out of the mainstream.” As he battled Clinton for the party’s nomination in 2016, Sanders released a brief summary of his federal returns, known as a Form 1040, from 2014. Under pressure from critics and the Clinton campaign, he eventually released his full 2014 federal tax return, filed jointly with his wife, Jane, providing a somewhat clearer picture of his finances from a single year.
Asked when Sanders will release his returns, his campaign pointed ABC News to the senator's comments on “The Daily Show” Thursday night, where he suggested he may release a decade of federal returns as Tax Day approaches.
