How I did it: Had to call for guidance over and over:IRS 800#, MD Dept of Rev, LA Dept of Rev.Then.... I cheated. I kept calling an accountant friend so many times that he just told me to send him the 2009 federal tax paperwork and he'd do it.... He's the MAN! <3 Read how I did it…
How I did it: Centered myself before falling asleep and closed my eyes and just prayed the rosary with the appropriate mystery and virtue. Read how I did it…
