@spagirl1550   Good Luck on your new venture.

 

1.  Generally ( and depending on your last years tax filings ) you may or may not have to files estimated taxes  each quarter.   Note that there are two types of taxes that are required  to  be current with quarterly ( or be faced with  interest charges  at least ) --- (a)  Federal  Taxes  and  (b) State Taxes  (  unless your state of residence has NO Personal Income Tax).

2.  All self-employed are also responsible for paying Self-Employment Taxes  ( equivalent of FICA for wage earners, called SECA and is at 15.3% of  your gross profits  ).  This does not have to be paid quarterly.

3. You will need to keep good records of  all inventory  that you buy for use  or for sale to customers.  

4. If , as you say , you are sole owner  ( i.e. a single member  LLC ) your  file your return on Schedule-C along with your income tax return.

5. Also note that it is strongly suggested that you have separate  Business Bank account  ( to dela with all expenses and incomes ), a separate  Business Credit Card  and  never, never mingle your personal finances with that of the business.

 

Please consider  getting yourself familiar with  reports / suggestions from the SBA -- >
