Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and his wife, Janna, paid $34,233 in taxes in 2010 and $64,764 in taxes in 2011, representing a tax rate of 15.9 percent and 20 percent, respectively, according to two years of Ryan's tax returns provided on Friday to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel by Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign.
About one-half of the couple’s income came from Ryan’s congressional salary, with the remainder from dividends, capital gains, real estate, and other sources, according to the newspaper.
To date, Romney has released his 2010 tax returns and an estimate for 2011. Romney said on Thursday that he has paid at least a 13 percent rate on his taxes each year for the past decade.
