Internet Business Taxation

QUESTION:I am trying to start up an internet business. I have recently formed an LLC in New Jersey which will own the site and receive all payments. Will I need to qualify to do business in every other state (and other countries presumably) because I may be receiving business from customers all over the world? REPLY: You may be subject to tax in other states depending upon your type of business and contacts within the state. Even if you do not maintain an office in a site, if you sell enough merchandise in a particular state, that state may try to tax you. Because the states are hungry for revenue, you must anticipate attempts at taxing and auditing your business. You should immediately contact a tax and business attorney to help you establish your business right.Please tak a look at my web site http://www.taxesq.com/

Tax Court May Be Forced to make Opinions Public

The US Supreme Court heard arguments today concerning the US Tax Court's failure to disclose opinions in large cases. The Tax court stopped publishing these opinions, even refusing to reveal them to taxpayers, since 1983. If the case is successful, taxpayers will now see the reasons behind the Tax Court decisions.
