Palin tax returns for 2006 and 2007 released
WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican John McCain's campaign says Sarah and Todd Palin had a gross income of nearly $170,000 last year and paid nearly $25,000 in taxes.

The campaign also says the couple made nearly $130,000 and paid about $12,000 in taxes in 2006.
McCain's campaign released the joint income tax return Friday for his vice presidential nominee and her husband.
The couple donated more than $8,000 to charity over two years.
Their income jump from 2006 to 2007 resulted from the salary increase when Sarah Palin became Alaska's governor.
The McCain-Palin campaign had said the tax returns would be released Monday, but it suddenly put them out Friday afternoon—a time long used by government to reveal embarrassing news because few people watch TV or read newspapers Friday evening and Saturday.
