Almost every state has sales tax now. The states have the staff and the mechanism for collecting it. I am sure the Feds would want to glom on a few hundred thousand extra unneeded people, but they would not need to.
On this subject, California is rolling out online reporting and paying. We have been paying a subcontractor accounting firm to take our numbers and fill out the paperwork every quarter for more than 30 years. Last quarter, one employee in our company filled out and paid the sales tax online in about 45 minutes. That 45 minutes included the setup, id password, etc. This will be a significant savings for us every year. Also, now we can fill out the tax before the 5th of the month instead of barely making the deadline. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Madigan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 11:09 AM Subject: Re: [OT] IRS -- keep it or do away with it?
