Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, have released more of their personal tax returns ahead of the first presidential debate.
The Bidens' returns show the couple paid almost US$300,000 ($455,170) in federal taxes in 2019, including almost US$288,000 in personal income tax. The Bidens reported taxable income of US$944,737.
The release today comes just days after the New York Times reported that Trump paid US$750 in federal income taxes in 2016, the year he was elected president, and again in 2017, his first year in office. The New York Times said Trump paid no federal income taxes for 10 of the 15 years before that.

Biden and Trump are set to meet this afternoon in Cleveland for their first presidential debate, and Trump's taxes are sure to come up.
