HELP! Do I post sales tax for internet handmade items???


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri

Hi, I registered my business as a sole proprietor in the state of Missouri.
I have to fill out a sales tax form 53-1. I make handmade items and sell them on the internet. It is not my full income as of yet.
I have 2 questions.
1. Do I have to file sales tax if I make handcrafted items and it is not my sole source of income, even though it is registered with ficticious name and tax ID number?
2. If I do have to file sales tax, are these sales exempt from sales tax since they are sold to customers in another state?

Please help if you can. I have to file this in the next 2 days... and I'm new to this and have no idea what I am doing.

Thanks in advance What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

You owe sales tax to Missouri for sales made in Missouri or to Missouri residents. Makes no difference if it is not your primary business or if it is done online.

Tax is not due (and you should not collect it) from items shipped to customers outside of Missouri.
