President Biden stands in contrast to his predecessor Donald Trump, who opted not to voluntarily release his taxes. Details of his taxes, however, came to light in late 2022 when the returns were released by the House Ways and Means Committee.
“With this release, President Biden has shared a total of 25 years of tax returns with the American public,” the White House said in a release. “Once again demonstrating his commitment to being transparent with the American people about the finances of the Commander-in-Chief, President Biden has released the most tax returns of any president while in office.”
The White House also released Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff’s returns. They reported a combined income of $456,918 and paid $93,570 in federal taxes. The couple also reported making $23,000 in charitable contributions in 2022.
