Legal issues regarding a new business.

I'm new to this idea of starting up my own business; I would like to have my own comic book business, either online, or have my own store. Can anyone tell me what steps I have to take, so that my business is 100% legal. Example: what forms need to be filled out, where I can go for advice, what paperwork is needed, etc. Thank you.

If you're mostly interested in setting up a store online, it's very easy to do through eBay. Then all you have to do is make sure you charge sales tax for sales made in your state. To collect sales tax, check your state's department of taxation to see what forms need to be completed and when they need to be submitted. You also want to check with your county and/or city to make sure you don't need a business license. Usually you wouldn't for an eBay business.
