What tax info do I need for my home based business?

Question by j_mallock: What tax info do I need for my home based business?
I am starting a pool and spa cleaning business. Because it is just starting, it is considered a home based business. I am not going to have any employees so do I need any kind of federal or state tax numbers? I know I will have to pay taxes on the business, so how do I set that up? I have looked online and on the IRS website, but I am hoping someone can explain this in lamens terms. Thanks

It really depends on how your business is set up. Are you a Sole Proprieter or Incorp?

If it’s a S.P, then you don’t need an Tax Id number, you will just use your ss# and all the money you recieve will be counted as your personal income. I would suggest setting aside 30% for taxes. When you do your taxes, it will tell you how much you owe.

If you can’t find anything on the IRS website, you can also talk to either a lawyer or an accountant for help. You may also want to check out websites for small businesses or your local Chamber of Commerce…. Good luck to you.

Good luck to you. I’m trying to get my fiance to open his own pool and spa company too.

Oh.. also, go to your local City Hall. You will have to get a biz license from them also. They may also have you get one for the cities you will provide service for.

EquaShip Adjusting Transportation Network to Improve Delivery Times, Temporarily Suspending Customer Operations

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) February 05, 2012

EquaShip, which launched in Q4, 2011 as the new 4th Parcel Carrier catering specifically to small and medium sized e-commerce merchants, announced today that it is temporarily suspending all customers while it re-engineers its transportation network for faster package delivery times, larger geographic coverage and more service options.

Ron Wiener, CEO of EquaShip, said Our customers clearly loved that fact that our prices beat FedEx and UPS by up to 80%, our real insurance coverage bundled with every parcel, and our outstanding customer service. However, in todays ecommerce environment its not good enough for small and medium-sized merchants to offer Free Shipping. Shipping also has to be fast enough to compete with larger competitors like Amazon who ship from multiple distribution centers. What we heard loud and clear from our customers was that they needed faster transit times than we could deliver through our existing network of transportation partners.

Rather than limit our market only to shippers who could tolerate slower transit times we felt it would be better to stop now, switch out our transportation network providers, and come back with a service that is as fast as todays online consumer has come to expect, but still priced far below the egregiously high rates that FedEx and UPS charge smaller shippers, added Wiener.

Given the magnitude of systems integration work that is involved in changing out transportation partners EquaShip has elected to suspend customer operations after the final delivery of all remaining parcels in the pipeline, so that its management team can focus 100% of its efforts on bringing EquaShip back online as soon as possible. The company intends to expand its service offerings with new options for same-day, expedited and international services, in addition to its keystone postal consolidation ground service.

ABOUT EQUASHIP

EquaShip is a new kind of parcel delivery service designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses. With transparent all-in pricing, EquaShip gives companies access to great service at prices well below UPS and FedEx residential ground rates. EquaShip provides fully-integrated track-and-trace, $ 100 of EquaSurance real, honest insurance coverage included with every package, and superior customer care, all with no hidden assessorial fees, special software or contracted volume commitments.

Bogdan Fiedur and Adlandpro Offer Their 12 year old Classified ad Technology to the Public

(PRWEB) January 12, 2012

Adlandpro.com , run by Canadian entrepreneur and CEO Bogdan Fiedur, is a social network that offers free traffic to Internet entrepreneurs and affiliates through a free ad posting service. Bogdan Fiedur, a computer programmer turned startup CEO, created Adlandpro to serve as a community for people interested in online advertising, Internet marketing, and affiliate marketing. Adlandpro has provided expert guidance to both new and experienced Internet marketers for 12 years.

Bogdan Fiedur and Adlandpro have made it possible for anyone to have their own Classified ad site.

The new classified system is a result of 12 years of experience in Classified Advertising and serving more than 40,000 paying customers. As of 2011, $ 1.42 billion was spent on US social network advertising; $ 1.52 billion is expected to be spent in 2012 alone. This amount is projected to increase to $ 1.64 billion as of 2013. Yet social network ad spend is on the decline compared to total online ad spend, dropping from 4.4% in 2007 to 4.1% in 2012. Social network ad spend is expected to fall to 3.9% by 2013.

For many e-commerce business owners this can add a new and considerable revenue source for their business offers the opportunity to recoup advertising money that they have spent money promoting their business by generating revenue through owning their own classifieds site. Media advertising can be a risky investment, however if you generate revenue by having your own classifieds site it significantly reduces the risk.

Adlandpro tailored the New Classified system to cater both beginner and advanced advertisers.

Adlandpro has it set up to cover support issues for the both their clients and their clients customers when they need it. Bogdan Fiedur and his staff will do all the work and give their customers the support and tools to get started. Adlandpro is one of the few companies that still offer all three levels of customer support by live chat, email and telephone contact. They have also set it up for individuals with or without their own website by offering the client to host the page themselves or Adlandpro will host it as their subdomain so their clients have their own unique URL.

Bogdan has done a wonderful job at putting together this new classified system and in addition when someone signs up for the service they will also belong to the Adlandpro community. All the members can access free classified advertising, networking, marketing, promotion, and additional earning opportunities. Adlandpro was designed based on the vision of CEO Bogdan Fiedur, who lives by the motto, “Whatever you do, do it with passion.
