Dear Nomad:

It is imperative that you act at once to straighten out your complicated tax situation. First, locate a safe U.S. Congressional district and get elected. Second, get re-elected 15 or 20 times and get appointed to chair a powerful subcommittee. Third, hire a politically connected attorney and twist arms to appoint friendly colleagues to your ethics investigation panel. It might seem like a hassle now, but once you are cleared you'll be free to enjoy your many homes in peace.

Charley

PS - New York District 16 looks promising!

I've been claiming all of them as a primary residence for tax purposes since I can't decide which one I like best. Sometimes my wife invites friends or other people to use our homes for a weekend or a year or two, and sometimes they'll leave a couple thousand on the end table to cover fridge beer, condiment usage, etc.</P><P>Anyhoo, long story short, the IRS now says I have to count this as "rental income." I mean, WTF? Like I told the auditor, the whole thing is my wife's deal and she never told me about it because she only speaks Puerto Rican. This only seemed to make him angrier.
