| It's almost the new year, OnPolitics readers, but the news is still coming out of Washington. |
| Friday -- tomorrow -- is the anticipated release of Donald Trump's tax returns. |
| Catch up on the news, reported by USA TODAY national correspondent Donovan Slack: |
| 🗎 The House Ways and Means Committee plans to release six years of former President Donald Trump's tax returns Friday, 2015-2020, the years Trump was president and campaigning for president. |
| 🗎 The returns are expected to include his personal returns and those for several businesses along with IRS audit materials. Staff are redacting personal information. |
| 🗎 Why now? A Supreme Court decision in November after a long court battle paved the way for their release to the House panel, who voted to release the returns. |
| 🗎 Trump's returns missed a "mandatory review" by the IRS, according to the House committee, and the Democrat-led panel said the release could improve auditing procedures at the Internal Revenue Service. |
