DBA? PA State Tax ID number?
lasia221 asked:
I’m trying to register for a craft show in Harrisburg. It’s the first one to tell me that I NEED a State Sales Tax #. (I make and sell handmade jewelry).
I tried the website, Pa-100 form. I tried the Open for Business wizard, which tells me I owe a fee of $70, but what FOR I’m not sure. I’m not sure I’m answering the questions right on PA-100.
I tried to email support, to ask where their office is that I might come in for help, but they just directed me back to the online form and said to call with questions. I need the idiot’s guide to WHY, what these things mean, and how to answer them.
I’ve been told I have to pay more because I’ll be DBA Lilly Jewelry, not something that has my name in it. I’ve been on the web for over a year, I have business cards, plus I **** my name, I don’t wanna change the business name!!

HELP! I did something terribly wrong regarding Indiana Taxes?
kellygirl asked:
I own a wholesale import company. I sell to retailers. I do not sell retail…I sell to retailers. When I just started out 2 years ago, I applied for an Indiana Tax id number. I did this in case I was ever to do retail in the way of craft shows in Indiana. I reside in Michigan and conduct my wholesale business in Michigan. I received a collection letter regarding unpaid taxes for the state of Indiana, owing $88,000.00.

I have never done business in the state of Indiana, nor do I collect sales tax. Someone help! I did something wrong, and now I can’t function. My entire business hasen’t even made this dollar amount. I opened this letter on Friday, 6pm, after their office was closed. I haven’t slept b/c I have been so worried. What step should I take next?
