President and First Lady Jill Biden reported $ 610,702 in revenue for 2021 and paid $ 183,925 in federal and state income taxes. The couple donated $ 17,394 to charity, or about 2.8%. That’s about 0.3 percent less than the average charity discount for Americans earning $ 500,000 to $ 2 million, according to 2016 figures from the nonprofit Center for Tax Policy. In Harris’s case, the difference was even worse. Vice President and her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, earned $ 1,655,563 in 2021 and paid $ 523,371 in federal income taxes. The couple donated $ 22,100 – or 1.3% – to charity. The percentage is significantly less than the 3.1% donated on average by those earning between $ 500,000 and $ 2 million. The dispute between the Biden and Harris families was first reported by Fox News. Data from the Center for Tax Policy showed that the poorest Americans were by far the most generous, with those earning less than $ 50,000 and referring to charitable deductions donating 8.4%. Biden’s biggest charity donation in 2021 was a $ 5,000 donation to the Bo Biden Foundation, named in honor of his son who died of cancer in 2015.
