The Chicago Tribune is live-blogging the Chicago Board of Elections hearing today to determine whether former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel meets the residency requirement for running for mayor.  According to the Chicago Sun-Times, one of the key issues is his 2009 state income tax return:

On the original Illinois return, in response to the question, “Were you, or your spouse … a full-year resident of Illinois during the tax year?’’ Emanuel checked “No.’’ He said he lived in the state only until June 30, 2009.

But in the amended return, the couple said the original return was incorrect and “inconsistent with our continued payments of Illinois estimated tax, both in the original 2009 return and subsequently. … (We are also full-year residents in 2010 and have therefore been paying estimated Illinois taxes for 2010).’’
