Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton talks about her economic plan, Aug. 10, 2016 in Des Moines, Iowa. Steve Pope—Getty Images  by [Justin Worland](https://time.com/author/justin-worland/)  ## Justin Worland Senior Correspondent Aug 11, 2016 1:10 PM UTC Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign may release her 2015 tax returns as soon as this Friday, adding to pressure for opponent Donald Trump to do the same, according to a [report](http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hillary-clinton-expected-release-2015-tax-returns/story?id=41294647). Clinton’s running mate, Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, will also release 10 years of returns, according to the report from ABC News. The disclosure comes as GOP nominee Donald Trump continues to ignore demands that he release his tax returns from a long list of public figures including [billionaire investor Warren Buffett](http://time.com/4434785/warren-buffett-donald-trump-tax-returns/), [former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney](http://time.com/4327012/mitt-romney-donald-trump-tax-returns/) and [Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg](http://time.com/4402787/ruth-bader-ginsburg-doubles-down-on-donald-trump-criticism-he-is-a-faker/). Trump has cited a long list of excuses to explain his failure to do so, including, most recently, a federal audit. Hillary and Bill Clinton have already released tax returns from 2007 to 2014\. During that time they earned more than $140 million and paid $57 million in taxes. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4448109/hillary-clinton-tax-returns-donald-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4448109/hillary-clinton-tax-returns-donald-trump/"},"headline":"Hillary Clinton to Release 2015 Tax Returns, Report Says","datePublished":"2016-08-11T13:10:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:45:44.620Z","description":"Running mate Tim Kaine will release 10 years of returns","url":"https://time.com/4448109/hillary-clinton-tax-returns-donald-trump/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbea7eebe6b5df1f3/6988a1fa0b72e3d8f46ea9f4/hillary-clinton-tax-returns-donald-trump.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbea7eebe6b5df1f3/6988a1fa0b72e3d8f46ea9f4/hillary-clinton-tax-returns-donald-trump.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"hillary clinton tax returns donald trump","caption":"hillary clinton tax returns donald trump","creditText":"Steve Pope—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4448109/hillary-clinton-tax-returns-donald-trump/","name":"Hillary Clinton to Release 2015 Tax Returns, Report Says"}}]}] ```
