Tip One:  Relax

The first thing you should do is take a breath and accept the fact that of the many things in your life you are currently unsure of, there’s one of which you can be totally certain – taxes.  Never proceed with something that could lead to short-term loss and long term problems (like taxes) without a clear and steady mind.
