[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1861804, member: 75105"]The problem with taxes is that it's way too confusing and redundant. [B]For example, you have to:[/B] 1. Collect and pay Illinois sales tax, and collect and pay "use tax" on inventory purchased out state lines. 2. Fill out a schedule C with a 1040. 3. Pay "estimated taxes" every 3 months, and if your business makes [B]more[/B] money than expected, you are fined penalties and interest for not paying more. 4. Pay self employment tax, ON TOP OF regular income taxes, which includes medicare and SS. 5...and if that's not enough you ALSO have to pay income tax for the STATE as well. Be honest, in a retail business, how the hell do you know how much money you will make? How do you know some customer won't come in and spend 5k on coins, or have no customers at all? It seems the IRS expects you to have a crystal ball. It's impossible for a retail store to know the volume of business you will have![/QUOTE]
