As for small business operation, why are you filing your taxes every? Unless your revenue is extensive shouldn't you be filing quarterly or annually? Anywho, my parents own a small business. They have 10 or so employees and they let ADP handle their payroll taxes and a CPA do their taxes quarterly. I've heard them complaining about business being slow these days because people are cutting back on their spending and that's about it. I'm sure they wouldn't mind paying less taxes but they're not hurting because of taxes. I'm sure your situation is different but I don't know by how much.

I have a S corp. so if on paper my business grows but I do not pay myself anymore money at the end of the year even though I did not take the money out of the business I have to pay taxes on that money. I've been hit a couple of times but back a few years we increased my pay and my 2 employees so this did not happen again. Its like I have to run the corp. so at the end of the year its in the negative and not the positive. My CPA does my payroll and my quarterly taxes. I've always paid my state and federal payroll taxes monthly then at the end of the quarter they just subtract out what I have allready paid and I send in the difference. I think every business has to send in their estimated payroll taxes each month because if mine is late any month they fine me. I'd hate to wait and pay it all every quarter because it would seem even that much worse.
