The joy of being a small business is…taxes. The joy of having one small business writing books, another small business renting part of my house, and selling a second house to pay for my Obamacare medical expenses, is MORE taxes. And more COMPLICATED taxes. Every year, I have to spend more hours and days of my life than I would like to in order to bring together all the information I need to give my registered CPA the information she needs to fill out my taxes. So guess what I’m doing now, rather than writing the stories I very much want to write? Taxes. Sometimes I just want to pass on that “adulting” certificate and go back to being a kid.
