This is normally determined by the amount of sales requiring tax you make in a given year. When I first started I was on a quarterly schedule, then went monthly as I was doing more business. After the discovery that the majority of my work wasn't taxable I was put back on the quarterly term. In Wisconsin we have to pay tax made through sales to the state on a regular basis.

When I said that I had paid thousands of dollars in sales tax what I meant was that I had charged my clients for sales tax and paid that to the state. So the money I collected from them for sales tax went straight to the government, when it should never have been charged in the first place under the rules for Wiscsonsin sales tax. Also, thanks for pointing out my glaring error on my brain! for some reason I was thinking back to the book from my creative drawing class 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' and just figured I had it correct. I will fix that as soon as the other side of my brain stops protesting that it was right in the first place. robb Mayer

A couple of questions. When you say you "paid thousands of dollars in sales tax," what does that mean? You only pay sales tax when you buy something. Did you mean to say INCOME tax? I do know that if you had something printed (offset, for example), and YOU paid for those services, and you were charged sales tax by the printer, you are allowed as a designer to pass both the printing cost and sales tax onto your client. And, I'm almost positive that the left brain is the analytical side, not the scatterbrained, creative side. That's what the link in your post said :) Anyway, it's a learning experience and I'm glad you were proactive in your search for answers! Great post! A couple of questions.

As with all BIG Government, no one knows what they are doing! Hence, you'll pay when the left hand doesn't know what the right hand has told you to do and vice versa. Hey! That explains why they (government) have lost billions of dollars and don't know where to find them! Duh!!! You and I would be in prison if we conducted our business as they do! Go figure!
