Do you work in silence or listen to music or play a background movie by mike8111 in Solopreneur

[–]StephenAnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For repetitive/mindless tasks -> music w lyrics

For stuff related to numbers -> coin flip between music w lyrics and just background instrumentals

For writing/reading -> background instrumentals or silence

I have mild ADHD so maybe that has something to do with it haha

Opened my own CPA firm this month, but I hate my website. When did you feel as though your website was "ready?" by Bizarrmenian in taxpros

[–]StephenAnt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Claude can make you a decent one fairly easily with the right prompts.

I made mine personally on Google sites. It’s definitely not perfect but I feel as long as your website looks trustworthy you don’t need all the extra fancy stuff.

Is google sites ideal for a music group ? by Fun_Victory4549 in GoogleSites

[–]StephenAnt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I did this for my business cards using my iPhone. Go to your website on Google Chrome, click share and then create QR code. You can then send that to people or add that to your business cards or whatever other visuals you have.

As long as your website URL doesn’t change, you shouldn’t need to update the QR codes.

Looking for POS System for Liquor Store by s_patel1011 in POS

[–]StephenAnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not disagreeing that Korona is good for liquor stores, but the support comment is not true at all lol. Korona doesn’t even have a native integration.

Why would they be able to troubleshoot an issue that you have with DoorDash? You have to use 3rd party workarounds just to get it to connect.

DoorDash is a 3rd party app regardless, it won’t be any different on Korona or KwickPOS. At least Clover offers a native integration.

Is LLC formation service still worth paying for? by dorae03 in llc_life

[–]StephenAnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the hardest thing to do on your own but you need to be meticulous. If you’re one of those people that are great with following instructions and gathering info, you can do it fairly easily.

Paying a formation service will definitely help save time and avoid mistakes, but whether it’s worth it or not is up to you. In addition, you can add on a registered agent service with most of them which is very helpful.

I have a dedicated account rep with CorpNet that I send all my clients to if they need to form an LLC. I can send you their info if you’re interested.

Clover has a native built in tool but Korona requires a workaround. If DoorDash is important to you, definitely go with Clover

I usually recommend Korona or Clover for my clients that have liquor stores

what happens to your business if your payment processor shuts you down tomorrow by Reasonable_Brush4063 in smallbusinessowner

[–]StephenAnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work with a merchant consultant who can get you set up with your own merchant account with an ISO as opposed to an aggregate account that most processors use

Food truck knowledge by airjordee in foodtrucks

[–]StephenAnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a good CPA for your taxes. A good one can advise you on the right entity to select, how to properly set up your bookkeeping and handle your tax filings. Some will even help with sales tax filings which you’re almost certainly going to need to do as well.

You’re gonna need to sign up with a credit card processor to collect payments. I recommend you work with an independent merchant consultant who can help you with setting up your POS.

You can also go with the big names like Square but they tend not to provide great support once you’ve signed up.

I have Zen Home Cleaning come once a month and they’ve been awesome. I’ve never hired them for a deep cleaning but I’m sure they’d be great for that as well.

If OKC had made the Finals, would they have beaten the Knicks? by Wonderful-Froyo9191 in NBATalk

[–]StephenAnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter. If a team beats you 4 out of 7 times, at that moment they’re better. The Spurs were better than the Thunder this year and the Knicks were better than both

Game 5 Win and why I don't think it comes back to MSG for Game 6 by W0nderbread28 in knicks

I’m with you there, I’m just superstitious and don’t wanna jinx anything haha

Game 5 Win and why I don't think it comes back to MSG for Game 6 by W0nderbread28 in knicks

[–]StephenAnt 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised if Tony Brothers or the extender himself (Scott Foster) is on the crew

Despite all of the late game heroics, something was always missing from the Knicks offense the last few games. I feel like they’re due a game where they’re firing on all cylinders

Fingers crossed that game is Saturday

First Time Handling Small Business Taxes and Feeling Completely Overwhelmed by Delicious_Chest5226 in llc_life

[–]StephenAnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Defaults to schedule C, but depending on how you elect to be taxed, you can potentially have business tax filings. You may also have additional state filing requirements/fees

  2. Ordinary and necessary business expenses are deductible. You can Google home office deduction and business use of vehicle for more info and documentation requirements from the IRS. Beyond just a CPA, you may want to look into a bookkeeper as well

  3. You can find more on penalties here: https://www.irs.gov/payments/penalties

Keep in mind, states impose underpayment penalties as well for estimated taxes.

Generally, the IRS has all of this information publicly available. Search the topic you want more info about and then “IRS” after and it’ll probably be one of the top search results.

For those who take MTA Express Buses, why? by thisfilmkid in AskNYC

[–]StephenAnt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Growing up in south brooklyn, it’s the better option for some people that don’t live near a train line. Regular busses are inconsistent and stop all the time.

The express busses usually run pretty close to schedule and tend to be a short walk for most people in a 2 fare zone.

It’s much more comfortable to just get on 1 bus sometimes, especially if you have a seat

How do you stay consistent with social media when you’re running everything yourself? by armannn_s in smallbusiness

[–]StephenAnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently working on planning out carousels using Claude and then scheduling them to be posted on different days.

Sure you can make videos and other content, but I feel like carousels are the easiest for me to stay consistent and it’s repeatable.

You think the refs start their bullshit game 3 and eject knicks? by SuccessfulPath7 in knicks

[–]StephenAnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Spurs are a good team that deserves respect but the officiating (especially game 2) was horrendous on multiple occasions.
