I am dependent FL college student and I want to start an online business as a self proprietor...HELP

This school year, I wanted to start reselling fashion jewelry and accessories online for extra pocket money. 

 

I live in the state of Florida. From my research, I believe that I will have to pay self-employment, income, and sales tax. 

 

Do I need to register my business if I choose to be a self proprietor? I plan to use a fictitious name too.  And are there any other taxes I am missing?

You will have to pay federal self-employment tax as well as ordinary income tax if you have a sole proprietor business.  As for your questions regarding licenses and sales tax etc we cannot answer those here.  Those are questions for the state of Florida.
