It seems that the IRS is not part of the movement to help small businesses by easing some of the regulatory burden that can eat up so much of the two resources that are most scarce for entrepreneurs: time and money. The Tax Foundation tells how the paperwork burden is increasing for small businesses when it comes to taxes.
"If the objective is to reduce paperwork, this objective has failed. The small business community still spends a disproportionate share of resources (time, personnel and dollars) in order to comply with the regulatory process.
"These additional costs are either passed on to the consumer or deducted from the small business owner's ability to pay himself/herself an adequate wage or give well-earned raises to the employees."
