TGIF all.

Golly dealing with government run tax web sites is easy and intuitive.

I had to file the sales taxes for last months sales today. We have until the 20th to get them filed, but no point waiting until the last minute. Create yet another username and password. Enter all the relevant information and of course there is one little button to go to the worksheet to enter even more detail about the sale. Oh and then they hide a window for me to type in an explanation why the entire sale is not taxable. Well the SERVICE of flying the airplane and producing digital files is indeed not taxed. Finally get page two finished and go back to page one.

In bold letters is a line stating that all the lines must have information entered and any line in red has an issue. The only red on the page is how much off premises low point beer did we sell. WTF? I drank a couple beers (OK more than just a couple but this is not a DUI stop) but we have not and will not be selling beer for off premises consumption.

So I call and actually talk to an friendly helpful man and he explains that everyone will be seeing that line about beer, and to just type 0.00 in there. Not 0 but 0.00. Well OK then.

TADA, that task is done.
