Well, in this case it was actually literally paying our taxes. (In the photo, Steve is about to initiate a wire to the IRS.) At our size, it's not a check -- and certainly not a credit card.

As to why we're paying taxes: while tax minimization is certainly a thing (and we have taken advantage of things like R&D tax credits), we're paying taxes because we're profitable.

Hah, well, I stand corrected. And also, huge congratulations on profitability!

As someone who has applied less than 6 weeks ago, this is great news. I can't wait to hear back!
