The Supreme Court remanded (sent back) this case to the district court with leave given to Trump to file new arguments for blocking th the release not based on the absolute immunity argument he had made and that the SCOTUS rejected. Pursuant to the SCOTUS order, he filed an amended complaint to block the returns from being released (remember, he isn't directly releasing them...his accountants are the ones in possession.

Eventually it will make its way back to the SCOTUS.
