What is the name of your state?NY
I am having a big problem with regarding paying state sales tax for a
business. (It's a sole proprietorship, I just got a DBA and tax #).
Here's the situation: I've been out of work for many years due to
depression/anxiety. Around 2002 my mother got the DBA and bought and
sold small quantities of items wholesale to resell on eBay in a last
ditch effort to make some money from home.
My memory is a little fuzzy, but I called the NYS Tax Dept. and could
swear I remember them saying that there I wasn't required to charge
sales tax on internet sales. From what I've been reading, though, it
looks like I was mistaken. I also didn't file federal income tax
returns because I barely made any money (overall I think I lost money)
but I don't have any records.
To complicate matters I am thinking about applying for SSI, and I'm
afraid of that I will not only get turned down, but I'm living in fear
of getting audited and owing a lot of money I don't have.
Any advice would be appreciated because I have absolutely no idea what
to about this mess.
Thanks,
J.
