ALBANY - Gov. David Paterson's and his wife made $269,815 and paid $82,780 in state, city and federal taxes, according to their 2007 returns.
The information released Monday shows that Paterson earned $144,170 in 2006 as the lieutenant governor and Michelle Paige Paterson earned $115,538 working at the Health Plan of New York. As governor he now makes $179,000 a year.

Michelle Paige Paterson also received non-employee compensation of $6,000 for the nonprofit National Urban Tech Center.

She paid $81 in self-employment taxes on that amount. The couple owed $57,562 in federal taxes and $25,218 in state and New York City taxes.

The Patersons' only charitable donation claimed was $150 worth of clothing to the Salvation Army. They paid $10,120 in property taxes.

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo released preliminary tax data indicating he earned $545,000 in 2007 - a considerable drop from his private sector income of more than $1.4 million in 2006. About $105,000 of that is just income from interest, while $145,000 was wages.

He is expected to pay $90,000 in federal taxes and $48,000 in state taxes. Cuomo has paid some of that, but still owes an estimated $52,000.

He reported $14,000 in charitable donations.

Cuomo, the son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo, sought a six-month extension to file his taxes, a common practice for higher income filers.

Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's tax returns show he made a total of $143,027.

DiNapoli donated $3,065 to various charities, including the Catholic church he attends on Long Island.

He paid $23,824 in federal taxes and $8,342 in state taxes.
