Yes.
And I do not think it will go to the courts either.
The law is there and if the president tells the IRS not to comply he will be breaking yet another law so I doubt it will be denied.

To Get Trump’s Tax Returns, N.Y. Democrats Try a New Strategy
ALBANY — In an attempt to work around the White House, Democratic lawmakers in Albany are trying to do what their federal counterparts have so far failed to accomplish: to obtain President Trump’s tax returns. Albany lawmakers are seeking state tax returns, not the federal ones at the heart of the current standoff in Washington. But a tax return from New York — the president’s home state, and the headquarters of his business empire — could likely contain much of the same financial information as a federal return. Under a bill that is scheduled to be introduced this week, the commissioner of the New York Department of Taxation and Finance would be permitted to release any state tax return requested by leaders of three congressional committees for any “specific and legitimate legislative purpose.”

Well giving the returns to congress doesnt violate any of that. They are still required to keep them private.

Breaking another law? Which law has President Trump been convicted of Silly? You were the one screaming that Secretary Clinton was never convicted, during the 2016 election, what laws has President Trump been convicted of breaking?
Nope no bias at all
Then you didn't read the letter to the IRS, or the law which it cites.
The President doesn't have to tell them, Congress has to make a valid request. As of yet I see nothing where they have made a request based on a valid Congressional Investigation.

Now that's funny the last president separated families and it wasn't an issue?? And now Our President Trump ordered it you say.
Sorry Joseph not buying it
The comparison to Obama’s policies is especially relevant now that the Trump administration is seeking to keep families in immigration detention for weeks or months. The reason that Trump can’t do that under a current judicial order is that the courts stepped in to stop Obama from doing it. Now Trump is trying to remove the shackles placed on his predecessor.
