I submitted a form to see if the local branch would meet with me to talk it over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-anyone-who-has-set-themselves-up-officially-as-a-small-businessblogetsy-shop#post-1164783 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 21:12:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 1164783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your state have a small business bureau? If so, I would start there (or in an affiliated office). </p> <p>It isn't difficult to get a tax ID number from your state, but you might want to speak with an accountant about how to correctly file your taxes and also how to maximize any available deductions. </p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-anyone-who-has-set-themselves-up-officially-as-a-small-businessblogetsy-shop#post-1164751 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 20:56:19 +0000 immabeetoo 1164751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I've been Googling, but I keep finding partial answers to my questions -- I think I must be typing the wrong things in. Basically, this is what I want to do:</p> <p>Set up "legally" so I am registered as a small business, and can account for any money garnered through affiliate links, and pay taxes on it as a side business, with a tax number for said business.</p> <p>I am planning on getting more regular with blogging about sewing/crafting and while I have zero intent or ambition to have it be "full-time" job I know that if I link to Amazon or Ebates, etc. that I have to legally point that out, and then pay taxes on the earnings. </p> <p>Anyone already done/been there that can give me the skinny on the best way to do this? Am I making any sense? I just want to do it right from the start!! </p>
