Two days after The New York Times published reporting on several years of President Trump’s recent tax returns, Democratic nominee Joe Biden released his 2019 return and financial disclosures.

The 2019 tax return from Biden and his wife, Jill, shows taxable income of $944,737 and a federal tax bill of $299,346. Their 2019 financial disclosure shows about $250,000 in income from book deals, speeches and the University of Pennsylvania, where Biden’s a professor. The disclosure shows less than $100,000 in debt.

Biden released the return and disclosure just hours before the first presidential debate, where Trump is expected to face questions over his tax returns. In a call with reporters Tuesday, the Biden campaign said the former vice president has now released 22 years of tax returns.
