Here's what Other Tax Documents and Business Permits You May Need When Starting a Small Business

In addition to a Federal Tax Id Application, in Kentucky , if you use a company name other than your own personal or legal name to start and operate a business, you are legally required to file a DBA Certificate, also known as a dba (doing business as) form with the appropriate government agency at the appropriate level. The agency depends on the state you are doing business in.

You can file a dba as a single owner but you will not be protected. A corporation or llc, is probably the best and cheapest insurance for you and your new small business if you want to limit your civil, tax, and personal liability. You will need to keep the formalities such as recording the minutes of an annual meeting but that is easy enough and the protections you get are worth your time.

If you are selling anything taxable, the state wants you to collect taxes and then give it to the state. To keep track of that activity, the state issues a wholesale or retail license. So, if you buy or sell wholesale or retail in Kentucky and the goods or items bought or sold are taxable, you need a Wholesale License.

If you will hire employees any time in the next couple of months, you are required to obtain a Federal Tax Id Number (Employer Identification Number EIN) as well as a state Federal Tax Id Number as well (for Kentucky ). The government uses these numbers to keep track of the employment taxes you pay to your employees as well as keep track of your business since it is also used as a business id by the feds as well as the state government.

A business license is used to keep new businesses up to the code and collect taxes from new business owners. The business license certificate is issued after you pay a flat annual tax to the appropriate government agency. In most cases, you are required to get an Kentucky or state permit or business License , even if you are working from home or you have an online business or selling on eBay- but note: 99.9 percent of all businesses are required to have a business License or business tax registration certificate ( both the same).
