The best part is on Page 2:
Your occupation: President

Okay...so his income is $400,000, hers is $85,985, and the rest of it is interest payments. One of the reported interest payments is $4, so he's not trying to hide anything. They had to enclose a check for $334, and there's an estimated tax penalty of $285.

He had $100,580 deducted from his pay. Since First Lady Biden is a 1099 employee and they had a lot of interest income, they made estimated payments of $46,000.

The whole return is only 29 pages long.
