TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie will disclose how much money his family made last year, but it won't happen until later this fall.

For the sixth year in a row, Christie will ask the Internal Revenue Service for a six-month delay in filing his income tax returns.

"He will file for an extension," his spokesman Kevin Roberts confirmed in an email to NJ Advance Media.

Christie usually discloses the family's earning in late October or early November. He released his 2013 earnings last October. He and his wife Mary Pat reported they made $698,838 that year, and paid $193,510 in federal and state taxes.

As governor, Christie earns $175,000 a year, but is also given a $95,000 discretionary entertainment fund which is shielded from public disclosure laws and which the governor does not count as income.

His wife, Mary Pat, is managing director at Angelo, Gordon & Co, an investment advisory. She earned $475,854 working as a director there, but was also paid $34,698 by her former employer, Cantor Fitzgerald, part of a partnership buyout paid out over a five year span.

In 2014, Christie was the fifth-highest paid governor in the nation, trailing only the chief executives of Pennsylvania, Tennessee, New York and Illinois.

Last Friday, the White House released the Obama family's tax returns. Together, the President and his wife Michelle made $477,383 in 2014, paying $93,362 in taxes on their most recent filing. Most of the money came from the president's official salary of $395,000, with the rest largely stemming from royalty payments from the President's books.

The deadline to file your federal income taxes is midnight tonight.
