How to Jumpstart the Economy - Tax Free Small Businesses

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?

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.

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.
