Good point on equipment doesnt count only things I plan to resale. Got it. So that should be easy enough.

So confusing all this stuff!
If your selling prints it is consider tangible goods which means you need to have a business license and have to charge sales tax. In the state of ga you are required to actually have a business licnes the moment you start working for money does not matter if it is services or retail.

Everything goes through zenfolio with me but I still have to charge sales tax. 7% on shipping and and cost. In the state of ga. I went to an accountant to find this out I would suggest finding an accountant that has a free first session and use that. Services where you are charging say a sitting fee those are not tangible goods and you do not need to charge sales tax. However you need to clam it on your income tax.
