It’s almost April 15th. In fact it’s right around the corner so it should be no surprise that many small business owners are thinking about taxes. OK, let me be even more blunt- owners are dreading the thought of taxes because in takes time and money!

Here’s a couple of interesting statistics. According to NSBA, which today released its 2015 Taxation Survey, 1-in-4 small businesses spend more than $10,000 per year on administration alone of federal taxes. And, more than 1-in-5 spend 120 hours or more on federal taxes.

Once every two years a committed, vocal group of small business owners gather at the Small Business Congress presented by the National Small Business Association to help set priorities for advocacy. This year the conference was held in Phoenix and it lived up to its promise to bring together the true voice of small business. Those who attended from across the country had the chance to listen to leading policy experts from across the country about some of the issues that we all face every day.

Do you ever feel like you are on a treadmill dealing with the same concerns year after year?  I do when it comes to small business issues. First a little background. In 2012, members of the National Small Business Association (NSBA) met in Washington, DC for the Small Business Congress to discuss an agenda for the 113th Congress. There were more than 30 different issues that were debated and the group settled on the Top 10. As the 114th Congress gets underway, I decided to take look back to get some perspective.
