| What are the Tax Requirements for a Home Business? |
I have a small freelance graphic design consulting business since 2003 that I started in California. I have recently relocated to Pennsylvania and was told by the city borough that a license is not necessary due to the fact that my business is all based online. However I was encouraged to get a tax ID.
I already have a tax ID from the time that I started the business in CA, does this mean I need a new one for the state of PA? |
