What Do We Do in the Winter?

Ron is at the winery, filtering white wine. In between reading the "Judgment of Paris" about the 1976 wine competition in which American wines bested their French equivalents in a blind competition, (highly recommended), I am generating the end of year paperwork. Here's the list:

Federal:
W-2s for 20 part-time employees of the vineyard and winery. I have to fill these out twice, because the carbons aren't efficient enough to go through to the 4th, 5th and 6th copies.
W-3s, summary of W-2s
941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return
TTB F 5000.24 Federal Excise Tax Return
TTB F 5120.17 Report of Wine Premises Operation

Ohio:
UST-1, Sales Tax report Ohio 4th Quarter
IT-3, Ohio Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements
Workmans' Comp, July-December
IT-941, Ohio Annual Reconciliation of Income Tax Withheld
IT-501, Ohio Quarterly Withholding
SD-141, School District Employer's Annual Reconciliation of Tax Withheld
SD-101, Employer's Payment of School District Income Tax Withheld
State of Ohio Excise Tax by gallonage (which had to be computed by going back and looking at all bottle sales for the year)
I love the Wall Street Journal ads by the state of Ohio trying to encourage small business to come here (she wrote sarcastically)

Ripley:
W1 1135 9977, Quarterly Withholding, Village of Ripley
Ripley Annual Reconciliation of Income Tax Withheld

And now, for each upcoming wine release,  it's time to generate:
OMB 1513-0020 Application for and Certification/Exemption of Label/Bottle Approval for each new label
Similar form for Ohio for label approval

ARE YOU GLAZED OVER YET?

On a positive note, another new vineyard/winery that we have mentored will be opening this year. See http://www.renascentvineyards.com for details. They are located in Georgetown, Ohio.
