Maggie Haberman has Rick Santorum’s last four tax returns. From her post:

Santorum and his wife Karen filed joint returns for all four years. As you’ll see from the returns, the Santorums’ adjusted gross income went from about $659,000 in 2007, his first year out of the Senate, to $952,000 in 2008, to $1.1 million in 2009 and about $923,000 in 2010.

They paid about $167,000 in taxes in 2007, about $262,000 in 2008, $310,000 in 2009, and $263,000 in 2010.

The family’s tax rate “appears to be close to 30 percent,” Haberman reports.
