Bernie Sanders' 2018 return reveals that he and his wife, Jane, earned more than $550,000, including $133,000 in income from his Senate salary and $391,000 in sales of his book, 'Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In.'
During his first presidential bid, Sanders released just one year of his tax returns — his 2014 return — and it was not a major issue in the Democratic primary contest. But this year, as President Trump has continued to refuse to release his full tax returns and House Democrats are forcing the issue, tax transparency has grown in prominence.
In a statement accompanying the release, Sanders said that the returns show that his family has been"fortunate," something he is grateful for after growing up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck. Sanders, 77, has also listed Social Security payments for each year of the decade of tax returns he made available on Monday. By 2018, his wife, 69, was also taking Social Security, providing the couple with nearly $52,000 for the year.
Sanders and his wife disclosed $36,300 in charitable contributions in 2017, but their return does not detail each individual contribution.
