HR 8637 United States House · 119th Congress

Release Your Taxes Act of 2026

This bill requires Members of Congress and congressional candidates to submit their federal tax returns to congressional clerks within two days of filing. The law mandates that these officials create a public database to display the tax documents and immediately post them online within five business days. If a candidate or member fails to comply, their name will be listed on the website until they submit the required documents or six years pass after they leave office. The provisions apply to tax years beginning in 2025 and later, ensuring transparency for elected officials and those seeking election.
