[@zoraya.v]

Also, when filing my taxes, do I have to include the sales to states where I can't charge taxes or do I only file for the state that I can, such as my home state. I don't want to file incorrectly and have to pay the state a ton of unnecessary money. When filing my monthly taxes, will I be charged fees for sales in states where I can't charge taxes?

[@maddiewerden7328]

Your videos are so helpful! Mindset definitely helps, I was so nervous about my first months taxes, but your tip about mindset really helped calm my nerves! Thank you 💕

How would this work if I'm from Washington state and my inventory is coming from California. How I'll sales tax come into place?

[@FaithGainspersonaltraining]

Hey great video but im still very lost lol maybe you can help. I created a shirt brand in 2019. Got my LLC and EIN. Made some sells and manually wrote down my expenses and profits. Had a shopify store but closed it last year. I didnt get to file since I started because I honestly didn't know how or knew what I needed. Should I still get the sellers permit just to have? I just want to finally file my taxes and be done with the stress🤦🏿‍♂️

[@skyevang7711]

Hi I love the video! I want to start my own online boutique and I had a question , if I bought from wholesale cites that don’t require a sellers permit , would I still have to pay taxes but I have an EIN

[@lovem9244]

I seen that you don’t pay taxes if you buy from wholesale. literally just watched a video on it.

[@brooklynhutchings7795]

You don’t pay the wholesalers the tax but you still owe the government those taxes

[@brooklynhutchings7795]

Is the sellers permit considered the buisness liscence? Also wholesalers doesn’t charge tax, how do you go about keeping up with those taxes that you’ll owe

[@theboutiquelife]

A seller’s permit is separate from a business license. You can set aside taxes collected once you sell the item. 😊

[@brooklynhutchings7795]

Got it! Do I need a county and state liscence

[@sabinarajput786]

If you have 3 different dropshipping stores do you have to pay tax for each one,, and does each one has to be registered

[@LifeWithKayi]

As a boutique owner buying wholesale am I considered a marketplace facilitator ?

[@TheKweenNaNah]

If your just now starting a business I don’t know if this is a good investment before you even make any sales. Is there a way to keep this information yourself .

[@TheKweenNaNah]

How much is this I hear everything but the price of this.

[@betopelotaz1]

I have a small business. Do you recommend bench for ecommerce platforms such as ebay, mercari, etsy, offerup? Also My business is small so it doesn't take much time to do the bookeeping, so i do it myself. And would you be fine if you file your own taxes, or would you recommend hiring a cpa?

[@venuspoynor4125]

Something I haven't been able to find a clear answer to is: I live in Alabama and I run an online boutique (ran through shopify). I already have my resale certification and am able to charge Alabama taxes. My question is, since I am selling all around the world, especially in the USA, do I need to apply to each state in order to charge taxes for the state or do I only need to charge taxes to Alabama customers since my home business is in Alabama and I pay Alabama business taxes?

[@venuspoynor4125]

I ask because bigger companies like Shein charge sales tax for every state (from what I know) and they are an online clothing store. I doubt they have warehouses in every state so it makes we wonder if I need to apply to every state to be able to charge sales tax with them?

[@irmamejia2437]

@@venuspoynor4125 did you ever get your answer? because i am on the same boat as you in these questions right at this moment

[@solotravis9427]

Who can I have / What business has an online service that covers payroll/tax comined?

[@LAYLAYYAHDIGG]

Can you talk about wether you should do cash or accrual for an online boutique and a calendar year vs fiscal?

[@GetHelpTax]

You should use the accrual method if you have inventory.

[@doraortiz8920]

What if you have to pay taxes like in a week but you still haven’t launched your business do I still have to pay ?

[@shaleekalama2036]

What form do you technically apply for if your an online boutique or beauty product seller?

[@intuitiveoasis9153]
