Federal income taxes paid in 2017 (jointly with spouse):
Joe Biden - $3,742,974
Kamala Harris - $516,469
Bernie Sanders - $343,882
Elizabeth Warren - $268,484
Donald Trump - $750
Of course, we did not need a NYTimes investigation (plus I presume some whistleblower) to find tax returns for Biden, Harris, Sanders, and Warren.

For people wondering, Biden's income history looks like this. The big payday was from his post-VP book sales and speaking engagements: forbes.com/sites/michelat…
We have sparse details about what Trump makes the federal government pay him. We do know that, in 2017, the Secret Service paid at least $159,000 to his DC hotel and $17,000/month to his Bedminster club: washingtonpost.com/politics/secre…
That same year, he paid only $750 in income taxes.
Federal income taxes paid for 2019 (jointly with spouse):
Joe Biden $299,346
Kamala Harris $1,185,628
Both could've saved a lot if, like Trump, they committed tax fraud by claiming a debt of "over $50,000,000" to their own LLC: motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
