President Joe Biden released several years of income tax returns, probably hoping the story would be that he did so and President Trump has not. However, Richard Rubin from the Wall Street Journal found a much more interesting nugget: in 2017 and 2018, Joe Biden and his wife ran $13 million of profits through two subchapter-S corporations. In so doing, they avoided $500,000 in Social Security and Medicare taxes they would have paid if they instead reported the income as sole proprietors directly on their 1040 income tax returns. That’s because profits from an “S-corp” are subject to federal income tax, but not to the Social Security and Medicare tax.

According to their tax returns, in 2017 and 2018 the Bidens and his wife Jill avoided payroll taxes on nearly $13.3 million in income from book royalties and speaking fees. They did so by classifying the income as S-corporation profits rather than taxable wages.” And the Biden Cancer Inititive.. During fiscal years 2017 and 2018, the organization received more than $4 million dollars in funding, of which $3,070,301—or 63.8%—went toward paying employee salaries and $799,671 was spent on organizing and holding events, such as conferences. No funds were ever giving out....
