Lucinda: if this is an existing business and there are prior year tax returns, get a copy of at least last year's tax return to see how things were done. The Quickfinder small business book and the Taxbook Deluxe Edition are great and also can help you. If there is a colleague in your area, then you can also call him or her and I'm sure they will help you. I would help you if I could but I have too much on my plate.
