Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require members of Congress and candidates for Congress to give copies of their federal income tax filings (Form 1040 and Schedule A, or extension requests) to the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate within 2 business days of filing with the IRS. These officials would create a public website database and post each filing within 5 business days of receiving it. People who are not required to file a tax return would have to submit a statement explaining that instead. The website would list the names of people who do not comply, and the requirement would apply to tax years beginning in 2025 and later.
