[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do you live? You'll need to pickup mail occasionally.

I'd rent the cheapest studio possible in Ward 7 or Ward 8 and have the mail forwarded to a PO Box near you. Though, I'm not sure if that would trigger a notification to your employer.

You'll have to do "married filing separate" which will have tax implications for your family. Usually it means you don't qualify for certain tax breaks.

The absolute cheapest way to do this is to use a friend's address in the District and give them $100/month for the hassle of holding your mail. [/quote]

That’s what I want but I know zero people in DC [/quote]

You work for the District, know zero people that live here, do not want to live here, but want to make a higher salary. You can turn down the excess salary cause this need to move to DC, you can rent a room in DC and live there during the week, or you can resign. Anything else is lying and I am sure a DC resident would happily accept that job.

Oh and lying about city residency has caught many a city worker. [b]I love those local news exposés where they follow the city worker to their out of state home.[/b]

Signed, a former city employee that lived in the City.[/quote]

These people get caught because they (1) use the DC public schools and (2) don't pay DC income taxes.

OP will be fine because he will be a District taxpayer and he's not utilizing the District schools. DC doesn't care as long as they get their tax dollars.[/quote]

If anything Maryland and VA screwed out of tax dollars. This is cash cow DC. Collecting taxes and providing no services [/quote]

LOL I remember when everyday the population of the city would triple between 9am and 5pm because of all the commuters from DC and VA. Neither state is obliged to pay reciprocity to DC like they do to each other. So just the opposite has been true for decades, MD and VA residents use DC services and pay zip.[/quote]
