Individual income tax returns -- including those of public figures -- are private information, protected by law from unauthorized disclosure. Indeed, the Internal Revenue Service is barred from releasing any taxpayer information whatsoever, except to authorized agencies and individuals.

I believe this includes corporations since they are infact entities.
