Business Tips - Help Your Fellow Chamber Members

Black Box Business Services - John Pino
The IRS will greatly restrict use of federal tax deposit coupons after 2010. Only very small businesses will be permitted to use them, sch as employers that have $2,500 or less in quarterly employment taxes and that pay their liability when filing returns. All other firms will have to deposit their taxes by wire.



Adoring CaregiversBe dependable and punctual - answer phone messages and follow up on commitments as quickly as possible. Following these basic rules will enhance your credibility and differentiate yourself from the competition. - Joel Browndorf, Adoring Caregivers, LLC
