Meet The Guy Using Selfies To Try To Get Out Of Paying Taxes

Andrew Jarvis is an architect who has to split his time between New York City and Philadelphia. The problem, for Andrew, is that he has to prove to the state of New York that he lives there less than 182 days of the year for tax purposes. So he’s doing it the modern way: With selfies.
