How do these companies get away with this for so long? After the first couple of missed payments why aren't they shutting these scams down? It seems to me this would be some low hanging fruit that would be easy to stop.

up to five years in prison? Not nearly enough, grrr.

"A Lake Oswego entrepreneur is facing up to five years in prison, after pleading guilty to stiffing the federal government out of more than $24 million in taxes. Robert Kohnle was the CEO of Aliat, a company that helped other firms manage their payroll and health care benefits services. But lawyers for the U.S. Department of Justice said that in fact, Kohnle spent six years, between 2016 and 2022, keeping the payroll tax withholdings of his clients’ employees — including income, Medicare and Social Security taxes — instead of turning them over to the Internal Revenue Service. In total, Kohnle bilked the Internal Revenue Service out of $24,816,602, they said. He pleaded guilty on Friday." Awash in a sea of con artists

Sorry all! that was 2 seperate questions that came through as one. Resolved both. thank you!

For me the biggest problem with Intuit and QBO Payroll is their aggressive data mining of all the payroll data and using that information to increase their income. For example if your client agrees to give their employees online access, Intuit will offer the employees advances which will be automatically deducted from the employees next paycheck minus fees and finance charges of course.

Almost all states require you to obtain a new drivers license soon after you change residency. "As a new resident of Virginia, you have 60 days to transfer your out-of-state driver's license to the state." I think X has a very difficult argument.

States have it "easy". They can claim you are a resident, and it is up to the TP to prove otherwise. CA and NY are the examples of the toughest bullies. I am sure other states have claimed aboard the "tax everyone" post-Wayfair (SCOTUS) train. Folks who legitimately want to move domicile, such as those who live full time in an RV and want to choose best for them domicile, hire experts to help. The basic advice is "leave no trace" in your former domicile. They talk about things like bank accounts, DL, doctors you see, etc. Another example is online sellers can now be taxed based on the location of their web site host's machines, where their customers are located, etc. Not jsut sales tax, but income tax. Someone in CA clicking an email link on a site (say in NY) for a business in a third state? The business may be liable for sales and income tax in all THREE states (plus localities)! No more Quill protection, Wayfair ruling has opened a real can of worms.

Exactly!!

I don't care how long I live, I just want to be healthy when I die.
