Ok, yes that's a bit cheeky but seriously, your talking about some very important, regulatory/law stuff, if your not willing to do the most simple basic actions of simply googling the laws, and reading through the statutes, I am sorry but than my time and effort has not been earned to help guide.

What other costs are actually there that aren't coming up in my search that don't exist when simply filing for exemption?
