Try Peter Gerard of Gerard & Ghazey in Northampton. Peter is pretty flexible. 582-1225 Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 13:50:20 -0500 From: acollins at rxemedia.com To: hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net Subject: [Hidden-tech] E-Filing for Mass ** Be sure to fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. ** If you did, we all thank you. We are an LLC set up as a partnership and Massachusetts DOR has notified us that we must file our partnership returns electronically. To do so we would either need to purchase "approved" software which begins around $1500 best we can tell, or we can hire an accountant to do our returns and transmit them. We currently do our own taxes since the record keeping is what is difficult and the putting together of the form is pretty easy with existing software. The question we have is, does anyone know an accountant who, for a modest fee would agree to just transmit our form(s) to the DOR? By the way, the threshold for the requirement for this is a whopping $50,000 in profit or in loss. We are significantly bigger than that, but it seems like quite a burden on many small companies. The fine is apparently about $200 for paper filing, but that is a lot less than the software or an accountant. The fine might be a great business decision, but it certainly ain't small business friendly.
