New Jersey law would require tax returns from presidential candidates to appear on ballot
TRENTON - Two Democratic New Jersey lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require that future presidential candidates release their tax returns to get on the state's ballot.
Newly sworn-in President Donald Trump refused to release his tax returns during last year's campaign, citing a federal audit.
Assemblyman John McKeon says that raises questions and possible ethical dilemmas. He says that making tax returns public would clear up questions about any debt to foreign states.
The bill would require any presidential or vice presidential candidate release at least five years of returns to get onto New Jersey's ballot. They would also have to allow for the tax returns to be released to the public.
