Geithner, a president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, filed amended tax returns for tax years 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006 reporting combined additional taxes and interest of $31,536. For 2001 and 2002, the most substantial adjustments resulted from his failure to pay self-employment taxes on earned income while employed by the IMF.

Geithner previously had agreed to similar adjustments to his self-employment tax for tax years 2003 and 2004 after his returns were examined by the IRS. The IRS waived penalties for those years. The remaining adjustments on the amended returns resulted from a variety of issues identified during a review of his returns by Finance Committee staff during the nomination process.
