Question: question about starting an ebay business and filing taxes?

I’m thinking about starting a store on ebay and was wondering what it all entails. Do you have to get a licenses? How do you go about filing taxes for having our own business? Do I need a tax id for anything.. any advice would be great I’d like to get started on this.
Also, a portion of my profits will be going to charity. How will that be worked into my taxes?

Answer: You should have the appropriate licenses from the state in which you operate your business. If there is a state sales tax you will have to collect it from customers in your state.

As far as taxes are concerned you will have to pay any applicable state and federal income and self-employment tax and, perhaps, local Business Taxes.

As far as the feds are concerned you can use your social security number or, if your wish, get an IRS Employer Identification Number -- it's free.

As far as federal taxes are concerned you should file quarterly tax estimates and quarterly payments. You will have to keep good business records and come tax time complete a Schedule C for your business.

You can deduct your charitable donations on Schedule A of your personal tax return. Just be careful not to exceed the IRS limits on charitable donations unless you are donating money and have cancelled checks to prove it.

Sorry, I can't help you with the state stuff since each state has its own quirks.

Hope this helps

How to File Your Taxes Online : Turbo Tax Tips

Question: I’m looking to start my own cleaning services to locals in my town..would I have to file for Business Taxes? ?

Its not a very big town, but at what point if my business started to grow would start filing for Business Taxes if I had too? Or do I have to file right away?

Thanks

Answer: Starting a cleaning business, whether residential or commercial, is an inexpensive, fast business to secure your future. And you are wise to research everything before you get started! Starting before you have "all your ducks in a row" might end it before you begin!

That said, Business Taxes and licenses really do not need to be filed before you have some established accounts. You will probably want to get a tax id for the business, at some point, not only for tax purposes but for the ability to buy your supplies wholesale.

The most important thing you need right now is liability insurance, or a bond-depending on where you live, as that protects you from damage claims and adds peace of mind to your clients.

You may want to spent less than $40 on an excellent cleaning business kit that gives you all the forms, contracts, charts, letter and much more to start your business right. I have a link, plus tons of tips on cleaning businesses on my Squidoo lens below...
