I think the government should stop and think about all the laws they enact on a business and how it needs to be reported. Do they think that it is just a simple process to make a change and businesses can make the change on a whim. Most accounting software that is utilized would have to be modified, and each state that is worked in has a different way on how to report. This makes it a nightmare to track and adds additional cost to the business who in today’s economy is struggling. Also, any business should be communicating this information to it’s employees in some form. Why does it need reported to the government? So the government can see the tax dollars they can possibly receive if changes are made??? Are we trying close the door on small business??
