    One question, which is important to determine whether your friend should file or not, I assume he has other income (employment income) so, he may surpass the threshold for the year if he sales his property. As Steve says, it is better to be safe than sorry and file the return, which can be...

    Boca juniors match

    Actually it is very difficult to buy Boca's tickets, specially for las populares, you have to be a socio and I know that as for now, memberships are suspended. You should find a boca member to get you some. Also you can go through Boca's experience (go to boca website), which is like a tour...
