A co-worker of mine is losing his grant paid position in late November and has been job hunting something fierce and keeps being told he is overqualified. He has a BS in Computer Science, a Master's in CIS and is working on an MBA. He has 5 years experience as a Programmer/Analyst, but mainly working in Access with a little bit of network administration type stuff. We were debating over whether NOT putting his masters degree/current grad work on his resume would be considered "lying" and grounds for dismissal if it later comes out that he has all these degrees. Even though he sounds way overqualified, he really isn't all that qualified. In computer land, he is a jack of all trades and master of none. I think he should leave some his education off. He thinks he'd get fired eventually if he does that. So, is under-representing yourself really considered taboo?

It may depend on the company, but no, I wouldn't consider it a lie.
