You'll still have to do all the paperwork to report your employees income etc. + small businesses make up like 99% of gov't revenue from business, so I doubt they'll want to cut you a break.

What they need to do is come up with a better web based solution. Right now the state websites are crap, they don't even tell you which forms you need to do. They need to come up with 1 government website, where you select what your business does, input how many employees you have, input your revenue and expenses, and then based on that info you get a generated list of all the forms you need to submit, already pre-typed with your relevant info. Then add email notifications for when its time to submit a new form.

Seriously why the hell do all government websites look like they were made in the 90s?

Because they were.


I know that, but wtf really, The whole tax system is retarded...ooh I know lets make it hard for people to give us money.


Also, they don't really benefit from providing better customer service.


This sounds like a business opportunity for someone.

In fact, there are people who have done this. I believe Intuit has a pretty good package for that matter.

Scary.


Maybe not if it's the local government: have it so that the federal government collects the taxes from the state governments, who collect taxes from the local governments. That way, you (as an individual and a business) only deal with your local government.
