<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7411154, member: 100459"]Excuse me for the miscue. That means that if you are on some website to sell something, it will be up to you to report the sales as income, as it always has been. Many of you (I hope.) sell coins and other commodities on the Internet. In that case, it will be up to you to keep records of your sales and the cost associated with it, i.e., delivery charges, and any other costs associated with the sale. You will have to total your sales, delivery charges and the sales tax. The hard part will be keeping up with the sales tax for each state. You will also be required to make up any difference between sales tax due for each state and the amount of sales tax collected to include a copy of the sales tax statement from each vendor that is exempt from paying sales tax. Each state has a different rate. If your sales are sizeable, the accounting for your sales as well as keeping record of sales tax collected and due. There are some rather inexpensive programs that could help you keep a record of your sales. Again, if your sales are sizeable, you may need to hire a CPA specializing in small businesses. There are some very good accounting firms that are less expensive than a CPA, but hiring a CPA will take a great load off of your shoulders. I worked for the state of North Carolina because I hated doing taxes, however, my last job with the state was keeping up with the accounting records for all the businesses that due business with companies in the state. I had 9 people working directly for me, but each quarter, I drafted other employees in our division to reconcile the sales tax records. No matter how you deal with it, it is a serious challenge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
