State Taxes:

Almost every state requires a retail seller to collect sales taxes. These taxes are figured on the retail price of the sold item and are turned into the state by the seller on a regular basis.

Please check with your accountant to be sure that your sales are subject to sales and personal taxes. There are only a very few exceptions where they are not.

Federal Taxes

Federal taxes will be due on the profit from your sales. Depending on how you set your business up, you will be either an Individual, a Partnership, or a Corporation. Consulting your accountant is a wise step here, as there are different tax and legal considerations for each business type.
