Here is a guy with a similar problem, with Illinois income tax response...I'm done, f*ck these stupid a-holes in Springfield. Do they think everyone who walks into a riverboat is paying tax?

It comes to about $900 at the 3% number, and probably end up being half that. And probably less that, if you have 30k in signers, your doing just fine

You are going to get hit with some late fees also.
