What are you really required to reveal to the US Census takers?

[THE eXchanger]

actually, in our case, it was benefical
since, a former tenant, in our basement apartment
had NOT filed his taxes in decades
and, had NOT submitted money
-when he acted as the eXecutor
on his fathers estate
(and, didn't submit that money)
so, when the tax collectors,
came to the door for him,
they tried to ascertain,
if he/and, i, were actually common law,
and, NOT landlord/and, tenant
the cencus-ironically had recorded information,
that showed, that was NOT the case,
so, instead of chasing us, for the money he owed
and/or, registering 'his debt' against our house
the census proved, that he was simply a tenant,
so, the census, in our opinion, does hold a lot of value,
also, when people are searching their family trees, etc.,
you can discover a lot of information,
from census records.

also, when we called the tax department
to tell them, that letters for him,
kept coming here,
and, that bill collectors,
kept coming here,
they would NOT take him,
off the address,
unless we took his mail,
and, wrote on it,
NO LONGER HERE ~ LEFT NO FORWARDING ADDRESS
which, we did,
and, NOW, no more mail/or bill collectors
come calling for him

we were grateful, that we were able to utlise a census for proof
of NON involvement, with this person, and,
they went after him, utilsing other courses,
of action
