I'm interested in becoming a small business selling sports cards online. What do I have do to be official?

Question: Would it be benificial for tax write offs? How do I accomplish that? How does one become an official small business? Would it be better to not become official and just sell as a individual?

Answer:
I don't know what you mean by becoming "official"? Either you comply with the laws of your jurisdiction or you don't. Most states require you to collect sales taxes for sales made within the State. You can get the necessary reporting forms from the office of your State Comptroller. Your City and County may have similar requirements, but since you didn't bother to mention where you are located, there is no way anyone could address that possible issue. However, there are no requirements for collecting any sales taxes for out of state sales. I hope this helps you.
