(April 15th, June 15th, September 15th and January 15th) These are the estimated payment due dates each year. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040es.pdfIf your state has an income tax, you will have to find their estimated tax form and fill that in as well)Be prepared to pay 30% or more of your total income in taxes(Income and SE tax which is comprised of both halves of Social Security and Medicare)Second, since you are in business for yourself as a sole proprietor, you will file form Schedule C with your Form 1040. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sc.pdfYou will want to include your payments on your 1040 when you file your return.A single-member LLC would have no difference as it is treated as a sole proprietor for that purpose.If your LLC elects to be taxes as a corporation(preferably an S-Corp) You would be required to do the same thing; however, you will also be required to issue a W-2, and file employment tax returns.

You might be better off using an eviction service.They will be cheaper and go to court for you and handle the trashing out and serving of the eviction.You won't find an attorney getting dirty they will just shuffle papers and show up in court.In fact I have had judges rule against attorneys and enjoyed our cases much more as we were on the ball.Some attorneys feel "special" just because they hold a law license and are below par in their performance.I tell them the eviction is filed regardless of promise of payment.I tell them you can always pay at the court hearing and I can drop the case.If you don't you will get stories like I can pay you 600 and get caught up this week and then you hear stuff like I only have 300 because such and such happened.Then they get further and further behind.They need to pay me in full and go cold with the utilities,or do without internet,cell phone,cable..

In looking at the impressive list of speakers (not including myself) I wonder if this will be 24 hour per day prepared meetings with each attendee having to select certain ones over others and therefore miss many they might have an interest in.
