This makes at least five Obama cabinet nominees with tax troubles.
Of course they are all “unintentional.”
From Michelle Malkin,
Knock me over with a feather. Another Obama nominee made “unintentional” errors, meaningless goofs, nothingburger mistakes on her tax returns.
It’s HHS nominee Kathleen Sebelius. Via Brian Montopoli of CBSNews:
Kathleen Sebelius, President Obama’s nominee to become Health and Human Services secretary, said in a letter obtained by the Associated Press that she made “unintentional errors” on her taxes and has corrected her returns from three different years.
In the letter, which was sent to senators and dated today, Sebelius wrote that she had made changes related to charitable contributions, business expenses and the sale of a home, according to the AP.
The wire service reports that she and her husband paid just over $7,000 in back taxes, along with $878 in interest, for the years 2005-2007.
Hey, where’s that stamp? Oh, yeah. There it is.

Now this is pretty small change as far as tax probs go and it was corrected quickly, but there’s one thing that gets me over and over. As an accountant, I see people with the simplest of tax returns hiring someone to do their taxes for them.
Why is it that these big-wigs all do their taxes themselves? Perhaps because it’s a little harder to lie to a CPA who investigates what you tell him.
