#1 Another Kissinger and Associates chum. Appears he's completely forgotten to pay some $ 30K in income taxes as well. Ann Dunham-Soetoro's son Barry should be very proud.

#2 Instapundit made the point that this would be a Treas Sec who couldn't figure out his own taxes.

#3 When you make as much money as these people do, no one can figure out your taxes. Let's be honest though, he's paid up and supposedly the nanny's papers expired three months before she was done working. To be honest I don't give two shits about either of these things. What I want to know is what kind of SecTreas will he be? Our economy is in bad shape but we don't need someone who is going to keep dumping good money after bad and continue all of these idiotic corporate welfare programs. I'm looking at you UAW! Ha. Not to mention when the economy finally does turn around we're going to face an explosion of inflation due to all of this extra money the Feds are pumping. Does he acknowledge this and what are his plans to mitigate? Let's focus on his qualifications not what his tax guy did (does anyone actually think he does his own taxes?)

#4 Tom Ochsenschlager, vice president of tax for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, said it would be difficult for someone preparing a tax return for a self-employed person to skip the Social Security and Medicare tax lines.

"It's such a basic mistake that I kind of wonder if we know all the facts," Ochsenschlager said of Geithner's situation.

#5 Remember Linda Chavez?Lost the Labor post because of some trivial issue similar to Geithner.The Donks went ballistic,the NYT and friends behaved as if she had leaked secret info(sorry thats the time exclusive right) and a fine brilliant lady was shoved off the bus.The same news media will now declare this de minimus, no harm no foul.

He will probably work well with Charlie Rangel.

#8 I have been self employed since 96 and for that very reason I use a tax guy. The tax guy uses a program and we both watch on a big screen as he fills in the various fields. The program is pretty unforgiving and would let you pass go until everything is filled in.
If the income came in in any form other than a paper bag left in the glove compartment, he simply chose to ignore he needed to "tax it up". If he deposited said checks at a bank and "disbursed the funds" in any way, including just sitting on it, he was playing "hide the weenie". He is either dishonest or too stupid to be confirmed in this post.
He doesn't sound stupid to me.
