Death and Taxes
Ouch.
I hurt.
I did my taxes (Death and the IRS) [1] last night.
Let me just say that Schedule SE [2] just plain sucks. Getting hit with 7%
Social Security [3] as an employee and 7% as an employer really hurts.
Especially given that as an employer I can't write off the 7% as a business
expense in this case.
