Only Luke has the taxation/census story. Matthew states that Jesus was
born in Bethlehem without mentioning any preceding journey (Mt 2:1). He
has the family settling in Nazareth once they return from Egypt, but it
sounds like that is the first time that Joseph comes to that city (Mt
2:22-23). 

The contradiction is not as clear as I remembered it, though.
