I'm not even sure why I'm posting this.
[QUOTE=PuntangMan;2347815]No way of tracking and taxing income so no income reported on earned income is tax evasion I would think Any lawyers or CPAs feel free to chime in LOL.[/QUOTE]This was your first post on the subject of a "cash" only business. Nowhere in your first post did you mention receipts, or their certification (or lack thereof). The rebuttal to what you stated was simply based upon this first post. A cash only business is legal. Period. Assuming all other parts of the business are legal and the documentation of it are being done correctly. The way you're adding things to make the business not legitimate has no bearing on your first post. We all get that one must keep proper records for taxation and be properly licensed to perform certain services. But again, that's not what a few of us disagreed to when you posted your first post about a cash only business being illegal. If a business is keeping those records properly, they are in compliance with federal and state taxation guidelines.
Are we on the same page here? Because it doesn't seem like a disagreement actually exists on the core subject. I'm just trying to figure out where you're going with this "read carefully" and the "google is your friend" comments.
I could get into tax codes and such but I don't think other posters would appreciate reading all of that in the "backpage" section of our fine forum.
Bottom line? The simple beginning statement of "cash only business is illegal" is false. Anything added to that statement is slightly irrelevant since none of us are disagreeing with future statements about record keeping, taxation, licensure, etc.
