The Clintons' Tax Returns
For the year 2000, Hillary Rodham Clinton (occupation: attorney) and her husband, William Jefferson Clinton (occupation: U.S. president) paid close to $50,000 in federal income taxes on their adjusted gross income of $357,000. The 1040 tax return the couple filed for that year, his last in the White House (pages 7 and 8), was released by Hillary's presidential campaign on Friday, along with the couple's returns for six steadily more prosperous years (see returns for 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005). By 2006 (excerpts below and on pages 2 through 6), Hillary (occupation: U.S. senator) and Bill (occupation: speaking and writing) had upped their adjusted gross income to more than $16 million and paid $4.6 million in annual federal taxes (Page 2), after claiming $2.6 million in itemized deductions (Page 3). Although Hillary's Senate salary was more than $150,000, the bulk of the couple's income came from Bill's speaking engagements, which garnered nearly $10.5 million (Page 4). The Clintons' twin careers as book authors brought in another $500,000 from her writing (Page 5), and nearly $3 million from his (Page 6).
