[pianotech] Tax help for John

[johndelmore at suddenlink.net]

I asked the question, and it was more for John's end than mine--the last thing he needs is "new tax hoo-ha".  If you're talking about a tuning a month for a year, yes, it's enough to consider, taxwise.  But even if it takes a couple of months to sort out, we should still start immediately.  We may "lose" the deduction for that first couple of months, but that's really not the point.  Our compadre needs the help, and a couple of months worrying about how it will fall out is not 'help'.
