[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is a question, and sorry in advance if it is very stupid, I do not really know how things work (it must be otherwise it would have been used I guess). we live in DC and we pay taxes in DC. thus the DC government must have somewhere a list of people who pay taxes here (and thus are DC resident). should an application to DCPS simply be crossed checked with this dabase?

if parents/guardian are not in the DC Tax database because they do not work, I assume they get some kind of public assistance, in that case they should still be in some DC government database. they could be asked to provide copies of driver's license and car registration.

Well, after I lost my job, I no longer paid DC taxes.  I got unemployment benefits, but because my job had been located in Maryland, these benefits were paid by Maryland rather than DC.  My husband lived with me & continued to pay DC taxes, but if we'd been divorced, or if he wasn't the father to my children, our family would have been flagged as violators.

That said, a cross-check with DC income tax databases does sound like a good place to start, and I would have been happy to invite DCPS school inspectors for a quick peek at my children's bedroom.  I'm guessing, though, that there's a law against using tax data for any non-tax purpose.[/quote]
