[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are paying for two homes in DC, each one entities them to its IB school. Double the taxes, double the options. Nobody's business where they choose to spend the night. [/quote]

Er, "residency" does encompass where you sleep.  The IRS certainly cares, and so does DCPS.[/quote]

Not really,"domicile" laws vary from state to state.  As long as you comply with state law on residency, and file and pay both state and federal taxes, the IRS doesn't in fact care where you sleep.

DCPS doesn't care where you sleep either, at least for now.  They care where you get mail, pay utilities, and pay taxes.

I'm not arguing in favor of breaking OSSE or DCPS rules on residency, only pointing out that the rules on in-boundary residence simply don't read like those protesting "address cheating by DC taxpayers" dearly wish they did.[/quote]

Have you ever lived abroad?  One set of rules for US tax benefits depend precisely on how many days you spend in the US vs. abroad.  States, too, care whether you live most of the year or some of the year in their state.  And, yes, DCPS cares where you actually live -- at least the overcrowded NW schools do.[/quote]
