　　Trump paid $1.1 million in federal income taxes in his first three years as president of the United States, but lost money in 2020 as his income dwindled, according to the committee's previously released report on Trump's tax returns. Increase again, and the tax is zero.

　　Reuters reported that the investigative report showed that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) failed to audit Trump in three of his four years as president.

　　According to previous reports, in order to obtain Trump's tax returns, the House Ways and Means Committee asked the Treasury Department to provide them in 2019, but was rejected by then Treasury Secretary Mnuchin.

With Biden taking office as the President of the United States, the committee will submit the request to the Treasury Department again in 2021 and obtain approval from the Treasury Department.

Trump, the outgoing president, then sued the House Ways and Means Committee and the Treasury Department.

　　After a lengthy judicial battle, the U.S. Supreme Court in November granted the House Ways and Means Committee access to Trump's tax returns.

The Treasury Department submitted Trump's tax returns to the committee earlier this month.

　　It is customary for U.S. presidential candidates to release their tax records during the campaign.

Trump is the only U.S. president in more than 40 years whose tax records have not been released.

On November 15, Trump announced that he would run for president of the United States again.

　　CNN previously reported that, given that Trump has announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, making this material public is expected to have strong political implications.
