April 18 (UPI) — President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden released their 2022 tax returns Tuesday.

In a joint income tax return, the president and first lady reported a federal adjusted gross income of $579,514, with $169,820 in taxes paid in combined federal, Delaware, and Virginia income taxes, according to a press release from the White House.

Nearly every U.S. president since President Richard Nixon has made their tax returns public. The exceptions are presidents Gerald Ford and Donald Trump.
