<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Thanks Chris. I did check with
my accountant. She has to research it (not something she deals with everyday) .
I just thought I would check the list to get other's experiences to help her
along.<br>
<br>
The second part of my question was billing software. What is everyone using to
manage US Taxes? <br>
<br>
I am only dealing with customers within the continental US.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>At the risk of sounding unhelpful, these are probably
questions you should be asking your accountant.<br>
<br>
If you are looking for help on this list, it might be useful to post where your
clients are based in the world, as taxes are vastly different from country to
country.<br>
