Here is my question:When carbonated beverages containing acids are packaged in Aluminum cans the cans are lined with a plastic coating so that the beverage does not come in contact with the metalExplain why and what might happen if the plastic coating were not present.Thanks for your help I really appreciate whoever answers
The system sucks big time and I agree with you completelyYou will have to do some reading so go to IRS.GOV and download or order the free PUB 17, Sch C instructions and SE instructionsRead them and ponder on what you have readI have three college degrees and 41 years of doing over a thousand tax returns a year; I really, really, really hate taxesBut, on the bright side, at least I am not a proctologistRead, study and learn.
Beside the fire, nice and warm when you drag your cave woman in for a good seeing to on the rug ;)
when you set up your etsy account, there are charges that are business related, all these and the income you derive will be reported on Sch C and if the 'net' amount(income less business expenses) are $400 or more you will calculate your self employment tax on sch SE which are included in your 1040 as far as a license is concerned that would be something you would need to check with your local community business license deptIn some communities, there are neighborhoods which are not allowed to operate a business(yours would certainly not be evident from the outside but this would not matter regarding the city's ordinances) if you sell to people in your state you would need to register with your state sales tax agency to be able to charge and collect sales tax
Etsy does not prompt you for these items because they are individual tax issuesMy tax setup is probably different than yoursYou can suggest to etsy that they establish a helpful hints section to make people aware that there might be other requirements tooWhen you opened your Etsy store you were starting a small business and need to do the things that are required of running a business We ( Etsy) also don't know if you are just doing a hobby which is taxed differently and does not require all this stuff vs operating a small business1Sales Tax In most states, if you are paying sales tax on your supplies you are not required to charge sales tax on the itemsThis is a STATE THING so you need to get clarification from the state To charge sales tax you need a vendors license, resale license or whatever it is called in your stateThis will allow you to purchase without sales tax (even at places like Micheal's and Joann's)You will remit sales tax to your state based on the their schedule See how these things are things that no one knows but you2Business License this is a state or local thingI'm in Los Angeles County my city requires a business license for almost all businessesCertain area of the City of Los Angeles (still part of LA County) don't require business licenses for most businesses How would we know about your specific area3Doing Business As if your business name is anything but your full name (don't need a dba: Jane Doe Crafts; but do for Jane's knitting) you need a Doing Business As certification which is usually from your state4Depending on what state you are in, you also might need a Garment Registration Certification I'm ignoring your food stamp comment because I don't think you mean how it came out.
The aluminum metal would react with the water in the drink, corroding the can and destroying its structural integrityThere is a demo called the 'can ripper' which relies on scratching off the inner plastic layer in a thin circular line about midway down the can.
