No, did not even start. The fact is it is income I would have to report. The unknown is how much it will be. In fact, I might not even get the answer because I am considering to allow my 2011 business income to simply pass-through as personal income. Therefore, I would not be going through an accountant that could answer this question. Maybe it is good enough to use a guideline amount based on the Kickstarter project goal, and I can absorb any difference (within reason, of course). Maybe Ernie Zahn can help provide this guideline amount or I can look around, but I think you should expect at least 20%. -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
