Did you pay your taxes? (sh.itjust.works)

Related: Robert Reich posted earlier today that Tesla paid ZERO taxes on $5 billion in sales (earnings?), so that’s just fucking great.

Assuming you're actually doing work and not just using the business as a loss center, yes.

If you're actually doing work, it's well worth your time and money to form an LLC.

However, an LLC can't deduct the same things as a sole-proprietorship. So, if you simply want a business on paper to serve as a loss center, that's probably the better choice.

Again, this is just MY understanding of things. I'm in no way trying to give advice or tell you what YOU should be doing, only you can decide what's best for you.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement
