Has Beto released his tax returns?

35. Here is the link I have.

In case that still doesn't work for you, here is the relevant text:

Harris, the state attorney general, and Emhoff, a partner at Venable, where he oversees the firm’s offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco, paid $371,954 in federal income taxes and $76,369 in state income taxes, after receiving a $35,952 credit for taxes paid to other states where the law firm is active.

She and Emhoff contributed $32,947 to charity, including $10,000 to UNICEF, the global humanitarian agency that works on behalf of children; $1,250 to University of Southern California, where Emhoff attended law school; $1,000 to the national nonprofit College Track and $100 to CASA of Los Angeles.

Their effective tax rate was 32 percent on the federal return and close to 40 percent combined.

The federal burden includes $43,843 in self-employment taxes, payroll taxes for Medicare and Social Security. Subtracting that figure, and using the couple’s adjusted gross income of $1.17 million, their effective tax rate was 28 percent federally, and 35 percent combined.

Harris’ return, the second joint filing since she and Emhoff wed August 2014 in Santa Barbara, show they predominantly derived their income from wages, which are taxed at higher rates than investments. Harris currently makes $158,775 annually, a salary established by an independent state panel.

It also shows the pair paid $1,239 for the mental health services tax, the 1 percent Proposition 63 levy on personal income over $1 million.

The poster that I was replying to was making a false equivalency concerning other 2020 Democratic POTUS candidates. I responded with the information that rendered their claim that "almost none" of the others had released theirs, which was implying that Senator Sanders's history concerning financial transparency is somehow the same as the rest of - or whatever the inverse is of "almost none" of is- the entire Democratic 2020 field.

It is not, as my links show.

As I wrote in my reply:

Some have been doing so for years - especially the ones running on financial transparency.

No, not all of them have released 2017's or have those available now on their campaign website (like Gillibrand), and I was using previous runs for office, or during office where these candidates had released full returns, as examples of the transparency of those other Democratic candidates concerning their personal financials.

The seven Democratic Candidates that I mentioned have cleared a higher bar for personal financial transparency with their tax returns (even just the information released in the newpaper article that I linked to) than releasing one summary of one year, and none have claimed that they have released their tax returns when they have not.

This is why
