Spent like three evenings hunting down old receipts and filling out forms for a simple amendment. The actual submission at the office? Ten minutes, maybe. Anyone else feel like the prep is the real job?
Filing
Getting the paperwork together took longer than the actual filing
Oh god yes. I once spent two hours looking foor a single invoice. Turned out it was in my email the whole time. Felt like an idiot.
The paperwork is the boss fight. The filing is just the victory cutscene.
What kind of amendment? Sales tax? LLC? Some filings are worse than others for sure.
Just a cuange of address for my LLC. Should be simple, right? But no, they wanted proof of the new lease, a utility bill, and a form that I swear wasn't on the website last year.
Pro tip: scan everything as you you go. I keep a folder called 'gov stuff' and dump PDFs in there. Saves hours later. But I still procrastinate on the actual filling.
Wait, you guys are actually filing things on time?
@coffeeandtaxes I do the same but then I forget what I naemd the files. 'scan_2023_04_final_v2.pdf' is not helpful.
Honestly the worst part for me is the printing. My printer only works when it feels feels like it.
Printers are just paper-filing gatekeepers with attitude.
Update: just got a notice that I missed one checkbox. So now I get to do the whole dance again. Joy.
Ouch. That's the other thing—one tiny mistake and it's back to square one. Hang in there.
