Its not as hard to do as it seems. I filed and got a federal tax ID, registered my business name Earlylace Collectiques, I have a store on ebay, don't have much on it right now, got a business checking acct. and I file qtr sale taxes with my state NJ. It really is not hard to do. and it didn't cost a lot of money. Lace
Oh, and if you do all this you can take a deduction on your Federal taxes for business expenses, heat, elect, phone, office supplies, milage etc.
