The question really is about determining the veracity of the numbers given to the accountant.
How is he going to know. Pelosi does not have audit powers.
You are not going to see how many deductions or the amount of each. You are going to see an added total on line 26.

It's okay. Mueller has already combed through them. I await his report.

What is so different in your 1040 and Trumps 1040?


What would you expect to be different, beside the tax paid amount?

I have no objections to seeing what the sources of income and Tax rates that Politions pay ... Congress should pass a Law that Tax Retirns must be Public for ALL THE CongresCritters ... problem solved.

I’m sure that Pelosi & Schumer will get right on that.
Schumer is one of two senators out of 100, who releases his return each year.

With the exception of a handful of 435 House Reps, the overwhelming majority do not, including Pelosi.

Obviously, there is no precedent for Congress Critters to do so as there is with POTUS. Not going to hold my breath waiting for Congress to make a law requiring them to do so.

The real issue is Trump repeatedly committed to releasing his returns and did so for political gain. Trump alone controls the release of his personal returns.

I agree that he made a political mistake by saying he would release them. I doubt he ever had any intention to. Honestly I doubt he thought he would win. However, at no point was there ever anything to gain from him releasing his taxes. He should have stuck to his guns and said hes in good standing with the IRS and thats all you need to know.

Trump got a tax refund last year. He didn't pay nothing. He didn't make anything. Gave his salary back to the people.
