Tax Tips For Small Folks?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the last-minute-pleading dept.

An anonymous "The tax deadline is fast approaching (here in the USofA). Like some of you, I have a small business on the side. Since I haven't figured out the 'step 2' yet (the one before 'step 3: profit!!!'), my revenues were zero for all of last year, and the expenses were just about zero too. What is the quickest and least painful way for a person in my situation to do his taxes? I don't want to spend 100s of dollars going to a paid professional, just to have him put all zeroes in the form. If you have done your taxes and are a small business (C-corp, don't ask why...), do you have any tips?" This is also your chance to offer all the heretofore unsolicited tax advice you've been bottling up all year.

    And I thought the people that sought legal advice on Slashdot were nuts...
    Asking for tax advice on here is taking it to another level...

    I have this little lump on my leg, under the skin. It doesn't really hurt or anything, but it feels sort of wierd. It's been there for a few months now. It's bigger than a pea, maybe the size of 2 or 3 peas. It isn't really hard, but it's not really soft either, I guess it's sort of firm-ish.

    I was wondering if I should have surgery to have it removed? Is it some sort of tumor? Could it be cancer? Or is it just a harmless bump that will go away? I'd post a photo of it, but my server can't take a slashdotting.
