I have an important sales tax question. Someone started selling online on eBay and did not know they had to apply to charge sales tax in their own state. They then started charging tax but haven't applied for sales tax yet. What should they do and prepare for BEFORE they apply to charge tax in their home state? The state will ask from when this business was open and where is all the sales tax? What do they answer and is there anything they can know/do before they reach out to the state to avoid penalties and charges that may come up? Can they get a sales tax license (and by extension a resale certificate) to say retroactively from the date they actually started charging?
