Bush cheating on taxes??

"WASHINGTON -- ....for tax purposes, President Bush and his wife, Laura, claim a Chicago post office box as their "home address."

On the 1040 they signed, which the White House released last week, the listed home address is "Northern Trust Co., P.O. Box 803968, Chicago, IL 60680."

White House spokeswoman Erin Healy said Tuesday that's because Northern Trust handles the blind trust the couple uses for their holdings since Bush took office.

In general, the IRS frowns upon the use of a post office box as a home address on tax forms. Instructions for Form 1040 say, "Enter your box number only if your post office does not deliver mail to your home."

Just use bugmenot (www.bugmenot.com). I can't get around the membership

The address on your 1040 form is your mailing address and has nothing to do with your subsequent tax liability. Using a P.O. Box is perfectly acceptable and legal--even a foreign address is acceptable.

How do you think people in the military file their taxes?

I'm no Bush fan, but this is a stretch. It is common for people to use the addresses of their accountants on their returns--and in the case of presidents, the blind trust where their assets are maintained (as did Bush Sr.--see below for Bush's current tax return as well as other presidential tax returns...)

I agree, and I think the title is a bit misleading. (Although it wouldn't suprise me if he really were) But this is just wasted bandwidth.
