Maybe it's just rhetorical flourish, but the article takes a hit on the ol' credibility meter when the opening paragraph says: "The IRS comes after you because you're behind on sales taxes." IRS doesn't give a hoot about your sales taxes, except to the extent you deduct them.
- emodendroket 12y agoThe guy's not a tax expert; he's probably muddled the difference between state and federal tax authorities. That's not really the focus of the article at all.
- ChuckMcM 12y agoAgree with this. People forget that if they have no sales they still have to file their quarterly sales tax forms with 0 filled in. The tax service never 'assumes' if they didn't get the form you didn't have any sales. Unwinding that can be challenging.
