I had a CPA. I paid taxes in each state that I went to. The shows are required by law to collect sales tax at the site of the show. I filed, but I had alot of deductions. Mrs. Kruegar did what she thought was best for me under the circumstances. What I had was alot of time between shows or breaks in the work records. I worked for 9 years before I got sick and of course filed regular. I had a 10 year break from working at all, during my trial studies. That set me back to square one. It was lack of insurance which was denied to me that hurt the most. My folks paid out of pocket for treatment, and of course that hurt them too. I don't know what else I could have done. You have to work consecutive years to get adequate help. I had too much wrong with me to do that. ginnie
