Getting Started
First, you will need to register your business name with the city government. When I registered my business name with the city I was charged $11 -- so expect to pay a small fee when filing this legal document with your local goverment.
Second, you need to apply for an Employer Identification Number with the Department of the Treasury (IRS). To file for an EIN,you will need to complete Form SS-4. You can find these forms in post offices, public libraries, online, or by contacting the IRS.
Once you receive this document, keep it in a safe place -- in other words, don't crumple, stomp, or throw away -- this identifies you and your business with the U.S. government and you will need this number when you file your taxes.
Third, you will need to check with your state government to determine if you need any specific licenses. Such as Retail Sales Tax Permit -- if you are planning on selling items offline or online.
Fourth, you may want to open a Business Account at your local bank once the money starts to roll in. Keeping your money separate from your family account -- helps you to keep your accounting accurate for your business.

$6000 (Money Made)- $3000 (Expenses) = $3000 (What you owe)
