Hi Amy, congratulations on Amy's Crafts! Handmade baby b..., Amy.

   I am a crafter and will be buying wholesale items and selling them online from home and in person I would like to sell them out of state and maybe open an Etsy account? Answer: As a crafter, you will need the seller's permit to sell  online.

A: Yes, a sellers permit is required to buy your craft materials wholesale and sell them if you sell handmade crafts merchandise wholesale or retail. Users of a trade name will need a fictitious business name filing. For example, if you name your handmade craft business "TLM TRENDY CRAFTS," you will need to officially register that business name. If you don't file a DBA business name, you need to at least form an LLC or incorporate it in order to register your trade name.

                             Yes, you need to become a business to sell handmade crafts.

                             Thus, you first, select your business structure: Sole Proprietor, Partnership, LLC or Corporation.

                             Then, a sellers permit is required to buy your craft materials wholesale and sell retail  if you sell handmade crafts merchandise wholesale or retail.

                              Finally, you have the option of incorporating or forming an LLC for your handmade craft business. We just bought a property that has an existing craft store, and we are interested in selling ice cream out of a stationary ice cream truck. We have filed a fictitious name and are an LLC. Let me start over..

         How to collect & pay sales tax? County tax too?

Q: online selling homemade products knickknacks nationwide on Etsy, Facebook, website, geek pages, etc?





     To buy  merchandise such as dollhouses and dollhouses  accessories  wholesale, you need a sales tax ID also called a seller's permit.



The requirement comes from   TN  state legislation taxation and finance statute that requires you to get a seller's permit.

    The way that works is after you get the seller's permit, you use the resale certificate that comes with the permit to fax or email  a signed copy to the wholesaler, and then you can buy wholesale because the wholesaler will not sell you merchandise without the resale certificate.

In fact, sometimes the wholesaler wants a copy of the original seller's permit certificate before selling you anything wholesale.

    Also, you need the permit number so you can remit the sales tax you collect from your sales in   TN  and other U.S. states.  You also need additional licenses to run your online business.      So you need at least a DBA, LLC or corporation, the seller's permit for that and as a business, a business license and an EIN.

   You need the DBA, LLC or corporation because you need to register the "Minirealities," fictitious business name.  You can do that with a Doing Business As (DBA) filing, an LLC set up or a corporate formation.

     If you hire people to help you, you need to open an employer withholding account and that requires a state employer ID as well as a federal tax ID to pay withholding taxes for your employees.



Q: I HAVE MY EIN WHICH IS 9 DIGITS, BUT DON'T HAVE MY SEIN I also have an LLC, but I have no idea what is a SEIN I repeat, I have an LLC, EIN, DBA, all I need is the seller's permit looks like it's working out with you or this is a person to machine conversation. A:Yes, you need the state employer ID and the seller's permit.

Q: do I need a permit to sell handmade crafts at a craft show?

Yes, the seller's permit.

I want to register my business - small custom crafts and flea market. Will sell at year-round flea market booth and online website.

Ok, to register it, you will need all licensing as with any business.

Do I have to be in a formal business in order to I am going to start selling items at a craft fair?

Yes, you can do formal licensing.

            Answer: You need a business license, but you also need a seller's permit because you are a manufacturer as well as a retailer of dollhouses.

Answer: Hi Sarah, first, in the 76539 zip area, you need a seller's permit because you need to buy the crafts materials wholesale.

Second, because, "Supakutecreations," is an assumed name, you need to obtain a DBA certificate, an LLC, or a corporation for it.

Third, all businesses need to obtain a business license and or a home occupation permit.

Finally, when you sell your crafts, you need to charge sales tax. So, if you sell a homemade craft bracelet at $10, you need to charge 8% tax. That makes the total $10.80.

Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a WI Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) WI State Employer Tax Number

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Wausau, Incorporate in WI or form a(n) WI LLC .

You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate. If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Other llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Homemade Crafts business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Wausau business name. In lieu of recording a Marathon County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in WI or form an WI LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes required documents such as bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC). .
