Selling under your own name?

Ohio questions
$50 to the Ohio Department of Taxation, plus our $50 to prepare and file it. $100 in total.
Usually not. A reseller permit registers you with the Ohio Department of Taxation to collect and remit sales tax and to buy inventory for resale without paying tax on it. A business license is a separate permission to operate, often issued by a city or county. A few states fold both into one application; most do not.
You register where you have nexus, which is a tax question about where your business has enough presence or sales to owe the state something. Physical presence in Ohio creates it; so can crossing a sales threshold from out of state. That is a question for your accountant, not for us. Most sellers start with their home state and add others as they grow.
