    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---------------------
