[USA] the legal paperwork side of starting up lowkey gives me so much anxiety

anyone else feel like they’re one wrong checkbox away from a massive fine? I’ve been building my business setup all week and the legal formatting is giving me gray hairs. it feels like the system is intentionally designed to make you mess up so they can charge you extra penalties later. The only part I didn't lose sleep over was the privacy stuff, since I just paid a company to be the official contact address so my personal porch doesn't get flooded with weirdos. But the actual state tax forms and articles? absolute nightmare. I haven't even made my first sale yet and I already feel like an exhausted accountant. How do solopreneurs do this without losing their minds completely?
