> unless you can afford an accountant who is very familiar with it all
I mean every business that isn't a pass-through LLC needs accounting/legal services. If you can't afford them then you probably can't afford to be in business yet.
I think the process is dumb, and could be improved, but really it's not the job of the federal government to streamline any of this. I'd rather that states modernize their systems and regulations for modern businesses. I wish my home state did this (among other things) to attract startups, because its easy and has a high payoff. Unfortunately I think the incentives are broken for politicians and bureaucrats.
