Title: We are Imaginary Number, a small educational games startup with 3 founders, zero employees, and a handful of paying customers. I finally opened the letter from CSC, the Delaware agent responsible for collecting taxes. Here&#x27;s what they sent:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mathbreakers.com&#x2F;static&#x2F;img&#x2F;csc_delaware_tax.jpg<p>After 10 minutes of mounting panic, I came across some information which relieved me. Apparently Delaware likes to use the maximum method for calculating taxes for startups, when we actually only owe a tiny fraction of the amount they claim we owe (and they offer a hefty interest of $525.56 on this supposed balance as well!)<p>Here&#x27;s the article, if you&#x27;re a C-Corp in Delaware and at the seed stage, you&#x27;ll need to see this.
