The new first family paid more than $900,000 in federal and state taxes this year after President Obama's book sales last year earned him more than $2.6 million.

In addition to paying more than $855,000 in federal taxes, the Obamas also paid more than $77,000 in state taxes in Illinois, according to the White House.

Vice President Biden and his wife, Jill, reported paying $46,952 in federal taxes on "an adjusted gross income" of close to $270,000.

The Bidens paid a little more than $11,000 in state taxes in Delaware.

While the Obamas donated more than $172,000 to charity, including $25,000 gifts to the United Negro College Fund and CARE, the Bidens donated a little more than $1,800.
