Small Business - :60 Radio PSA text script

MUSIC UP AND UNDER THROUGHOUT
SFX: Occasional dog barks

HARRY (agitated):  Lloyd, I was just talking with Bailey’s mom. She says now that we’re open for business, there’s all kinds of tax paperwork we gotta do. 

Lloyd: (nonplussed):  Yeah, sure. Who’s Bailey?

Harry: (exasperated):  Yellow lab, blue bow!

Lloyd (remembering):  Right, right. She looked great. Uh, nice job, Harry.

Harry (proudly):  Thanks. [pause] Wait, Lloyd, what about the taxes!

Lloyd (smugly):  Irs.gov.

Harry:    Huh?

Lloyd:    Bailey’s mom was right. As a business, we do have other forms to file, but I am totally taking care of it.

Harry (shocked):  You are?

Lloyd (chuckling):  Oh, sure. I went to irs.gov. It’s got videos and tutorials, a desktop calendar to remind me of important tax dates. Hey, I even signed up for a small business tax workshop.

Harry:    Oh, you should bring Paul, the poodle. He would totally love that.

Lloyd:    Right. Uh, say Harry?

Harry:    Yes, Lloyd?

Lloyd:   Shouldn’t you be blow-drying the beagle? 

Harry:    Don’t they just shake themselves out?

Lloyd:   No.

ANNCR:     irs.gov.  It’s the best tax tip of all.
