WASHINGTON — Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts disclosed her 2018 tax returns on Wednesday, showing that she earned about $325,000 from her books last year on top of her Senate salary.

Ms. Warren had previously posted 10 years of her tax returns online, and she has called on her fellow presidential candidates to do the same thing. She has proposed a wide-ranging anticorruption bill that would require the disclosure of tax returns for the president, vice president and major party nominees for those offices.

President Trump has refused to share his tax returns, defying tradition going back decades. The issue of his tax returns is back in the spotlight now that House Democrats have requested them.

“I’ve put out 11 years of my tax returns because no one should ever have to guess who their elected officials are working for,” Ms. Warren said in a statement on Wednesday. “Doing this should be law.”
