Practice just being friendly and maintaining eye contact. This includes passing people in the halls, when you're getting coffee, small talk in presentations, and just overall friendliness to strangers on the street. It'll get your confidence up seeing how people respond back positively.

I hear toastmasters help. I’m an extrovert so I’ve never had this problem but I’m sympathetic of how crippling it can be!!

Toastmasters is awesome. It's a gradual process that helps you organize your thoughts so you can communicate confidently. Plus they're everywhere, cheap and will fit your schedule, start/end on time.

Liquor.......

Or Whiskey......

Whiskey smells, vodka is better

Whiskey smells like freedom!

Compliance question here, I have always thought of the SALT deduction on the fed return as a perm item & have treated as such in such sch M-3. I see that some people put it as a temp on sch M-3. What is the justification for treating it as a temp on the M-3. You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm. Does anyone know the logic behind temp treatment?
