Yay for Finishing My Taxes!
Last night I managed to figure out all my Washington State Business taxes. I had spent a couple nights before compiling a list of all my sales, so I could know what my gross sales were. Last night I had all the info and slowly and cautiously started plugging my info in. Somehow I managed to figure everything out, without having to call the hotline for help, despite how confusing everything appeared at first glance! Thanks to a Small Business tax credit, I didn’t have to pay any business and occupation taxes, but I did have to pay sales tax on a few sales I had within the state, and…. USE TAX! The sales tax was I think $10.13 total that I owed, but the use tax? Let’s just say that buying embroidery machines in Oregon does not pay, because you end up having to pay sales tax anyway. Lesson learned and this morning I’m feeling an overwhelming sense of relief that these taxes, which I have been dreading for a full month now, are e-filed and paid. Yay!!!
Oh, and I also finished my Mysteries of Uldopho book, which I’ve been slowly reading for almost a full year now. It wasn’t exactly what I had expected it to be, but it was still a very interesting novel and I’m glad I read it. Now I need to come up with something new to read at night and give myself another full year to finish it. I’m thinking about reading Brideshead Revisited. Any suggestions?
