Question about a new business

MetalSmitten said...

Hi, I started a mainly online business selling handmade jewelry and did better than I expected. This is currently my only source of income and I have had no outside employer for this full tax year. I am registered within my state (IN), and already gave them their sales tax for my few in-state sales. But now what do I need to do for Federal taxes? Thanks!

Good morning and thank you for posting your question on our blog.

You are now required to disclose this income on the tax return. Based on what I am understanding, it appears you don't have a legal structure for your business. Therefore, you qualify as a sole prop or a self-employed business. You need to file a Sch C along with you 1040 Form to disclose this income and depending on the income you will be paying federal and state income tax and also self-employment tax.

If you need help filing the return, please let us know. You can reach us at amehdi at webtaxoffice.com

Hope this explanation helps.

Good luck,
