> If we can avoid saying I'm victim blaming, he clearly made mistakes. If someone is giving you money (front of the line/rush service) in most tax jurisdictions, you are going to owe a tax on that. The website errors of not paying local sales tax well that's just ...dude.... you were seriously playing with fire on that one.

My problem is not owing on the areas where I made a mistake, which were 0.1% of my transactions. By all means, spend a year and two people's time around the clock going through my books to uncover less than $7k, the state is welcome to spend their time the way they see fit, regardless of fiscal viability.

My problem was with the starting assumption that my error rate was closer to 50%, before they even read any of my submissions, and maintaining this for almost a year and digging into it. That's a heart attack.

Every step of the process feels like you are trying to convince a toddler that PPBUS_G3H is 8.5v when the SMC works and 8.15v when the SMC doesn't, and if you can't get the toddler to understand it you lose your life savings.

A 0.1% error rate is a pretty good error rate. Would I prefer 0%... sure... I am human... I spent years trying to grow a business from nothing. I didn't get a bank loan for this or line of credit, I was rubbing two sticks together for years, working out of the park, and taking the time to show everyone else how to do what I do once I learned how to do it at night during the little spare time I had. To do that and be at 0.1% for an error rate after a year of professionals who are financially motivated to find everything they can, I'm actually kinda proud of that.
