The feds already have your Social Security number since they generate it.  The state already has your drivers license since they generate it.  For those small business owners who file their tax returns properly, the government already knows you own a business.  So there are no dark little secrets to hide --------------------- unless you are involved in criminal activities --------------- so the reporting isn't a big deal.  The biggest problem is the fact that most of these folks have no clue that the reporting requirements are out there.
