I live in California and I didn’t know that I needed a permit to sell on Shopify I sold 5 items and made 300 dolares I barley got my permit after the sales what do I do?
This could be easy because, as a new seller in California, you were likely set up as a quarterly or maybe as an annual payer. So, assuming you didn't cross payment deadlines, the sales tax may not even be due yet. If you did, reach out to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (www.cdtfa.ca.gov/taxes-and-fees/sales-use-tax-returns-filing-dates.htm), and see how they want you to take care of it. Since you are a new business, it's likely they won't penalize you, and even if they do, it would be very minimal since you didn't miss a lot of sales. Hope this helps. Thanks! Greg
There are actually a few parts to your question, and without knowing some specifics, I'll try to help provide some answers. First, to create a Seller Central account, Amazon requires: - Bank account and routing number - Internationally chargeable credit card - Government-issued ID - Tax information - Phone number sell.amazon.com/sell So, with that, the part I can help with is tax information, and this is primarily determined by the legal entity that you choose. If starting out, you are a business without employees, you would likely either be a sole proprietorship or LLC. With either of these, you can use your social security number or get an EIN. If your business will have multiple owners or have employees, you will be required to get an EIN. In addition to Amazon's requirements, you will need to register with the Massachusetts Department of Revenue as a Sales Tax Vendor, and you should get a resale certificate, too. Depending on where your business is located in the state, you may need local registrations, in addition to a DBA if you plan to operate as a sole proprietor.

Each state may have different rules, but in general, they will need a seller's permit, health department clearance, and any other local registrations taken care of.
Maybe - A seller's permit is required for digital goods in Texas if the items would be taxable if delivered in physical form, such as books, movies, audiobooks, etc. Clear, right :) Here is some more information from the state of Texas regarding taxable services. This is the full tax law, and very hard to read, so if you aren't sure, you may want to talk with a CPA to verify the goods you are selling - statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/TX/htm/TX.151.htm

Hi does a nonimmigrant resident who has ITIN need a seller's permit if they decide to set up a stall and start selling clothes or prepared food.
Each state may have different rules, but in general, they will need a seller's permit, health department clearance, and any other local registrations taken care of.
Hello I have a question. I live in Texas and I want to open my online business and sell digital products only. Would i need a permit?
