   From working with you—I know one thing you stress---it’s HOW IMPORTANT---to save your receipts---

    We’re now in the OTHER “A” month---and if we filed an extension ---should we be concerned about not receiving notification from the Government---

----------------------Tim---------------------

   Back in April’s Show---we were already asking what is TAX DEDUCTIBLE  --what is your reading now that we are in August---

----------------------Tim---------------------

   The IRS has shared information with 1124 outside organizations and has trouble tracking exactly which ones-----Tim did they ever figure out which ones after we talked last month?

-------------------Tim-------------------
