How can I complete this: I/not care/he/do/so far:
I don't care what he does so far.
or
I don't care what he has done so far.
Thank you!

Both are correct. The lst sentence implies the action is on-going.

The second one is correct. If you put a comma in the first, thus: "I don't care what he does, so far" it means that up to this point in time you haven't cared what he does.
