hey, here's a few thoughts from today

If you have a small software company in the USA, your taxes could go up by 466% this year:

It's because of Section 174:

It wasn’t expected to go into effect. Congressional inaction on Section 174 means huge, unexpected tax bills for companies that can’t bear the loss of R&E deductions.

We need to act now: sign this petition

Michele Hansen (co-founder of Geocodio) has been heading up the charge, and garnering support from small software businesses.

Please sign her petition here:
👉
https://ssballiance.org/

We're trying to get 1,000 signatures before Michele sends this to Congress on April 10th.

Also, send this to your founder friends, and tweet about it.

This is a time when we can't just have "magical thinking" and hope this problem goes away; it won't. This our last "Hail Mary." (Listen more about that here)

It might not work, but we need to try.

Cheers,
Justin Jackson
