Local Taxes
by: Matt Bacak
Local taxes are an even further extension of the federal income tax withholding, just on the local level.
Businesses that operate in a particular state will generally be able to access information their particular locality through their state's revenue office.
Taxes withheld on the local level will not usually require a separate form. Local government entities will generally require that you file a copy of the state form with their local offices. Employers will generally file W-2 information and the information return accompanying W-2's with the IRS, the applicable state agency, and then with each necessary local level.
Actual tax deposits are generally made on the state level, and each state revenue office will transmit local taxes to the proper tax office. There is no social security or Medicare tax withheld at this level and usually there are no unemployment taxes withheld at the local level.
Businesses are liable for withholding and reporting of the wages earned by each employee, and the timely filing of such withholding and reporting just as at the federal and state level.
Quite often, however, the local offices will require only an information return, as transmittal of actual tax withholding will come from the applicable state.
Local tax rates are even lower than those of the state level, and sometimes are referred to as a permit tax.
Some cities charge a flat fee for employees to come into their city and work, especially if they reside outside the city limits or in another city altogether.
Small businesses can refer to their individual states' Department of Revenue, Department of Industrial Relations, Employment offices, or Small Business Administration for direction and assistance in complying with all state and local laws.
Additional information may be obtained thru the IRS website at www.irs.gov
. There are numerous publications that provide direction and instructions for small businesses such as IRS Publication 15, Circular E Employers Tax Guide, and links to individual state and local websites.

Is There Any Way Out Of This Mess?
Is There Any Way Out Of This Mess?
by: Neale Donald Walsch
From Conversations with God, Book 2, pgs. 173-171-172,174:
"Yes, Shall I say it again? A shift of consciousness.
You cannot solve the problems which plague humankind through governmental action or by political means. You have been trying that for thousands of years.
The change that must be made can be made only in the hearts of men...
You must stop seeing God as separate from you, and you as separate from each other. The only solution is the Ultimate Truth; nothing exists in the Universe that is separate from anything else. Everything is intrinsically connected, irrevocably interdependent, interactive, interwoven into the fabric of all life.
All government, all politics, must be based on this truth. All laws must be rooted in it...consciousness is everything. Of what are you aware? What do you know? I have told you before: all attack is a call for help. ...

Replace Your Wedding DJ With An iPod
Replace Your Wedding DJ With An iPod
by: Tim and Tammy Smith
Whether its true or not, most everyone agrees that wedding DJs are expensive. A popular tip circulating the net is to replace your wedding DJ with an iPod and DJ your reception yourself. While this may sound like a great idea, there are some things to consider. Just as with any do-it-yourself project, you must be aware of all facets before you start.
The first most important job for a good DJ is to play music that the crowd enjoys. A simple shuffle has no way of knowing who is dancing to what. A person does need to run things, but not just any person will do. Putting your 12 year old nephew won't do you any good. The person in charge of the music needs a large amount of music knowledge. A good DJ should have this knowledge. A good DJ should be able to identify a song based on a few bars hummed out of tune or a snippet of lyrics that are slightly incorrect. Your DJ must not have a fear...
