Gov. Palin Releases Tax Returns, Reveals Charitable Giving

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, has released her 2006 and 2007 tax returns, which include the totals of her charitable giving.

In 2007, the governor and her husband, Todd Palin, donated $2,500 to charity in cash donations and $825 in non-cash gifts, for a total of $3,325. This is 2 percent of their adjusted gross income.

The year before, the couple donated $4,250 to charity in cash and $630 in non-cash donations, for a total of $4,880 — or 3.8 percent of their adjusted gross income.

Gov. Palin is the final major party candidate for President or Vice President to release her tax return for public consumption.

She follows her running mate, Sen. John McCain, Democrat Presidential candidate Barack Obama, and Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden.
