Links to State Government Websites
Included on this page are the links to the State Government Websites, (mainly the Departments of Revenue and Taxation), for the fifty U. S. States and the District of Columbia. From these websites you should be able to find information on the taxation situation in your state.
For instance, does your state have a sales tax? If so, is your business required to collect it? How do you pay it back and when? Does your state have an income tax? Do you have to withhold income taxes or other taxes from your employees? What other taxes might you or your business be responsible for?
Is there an application, license or other kind of registration form to fill out? Can you fill it out on-line? Do you have to pay a fee to get a license/registration number? If so, how much? Can you register your trade name at this web site? If not, how and with what agency?
Does the site provide any information on other payroll taxes, such as, state unemployment insurance tax or workers compensation? Does the site provide any information on your city or your county taxation? If not, are there any links to your city or county? (And, if not, you should check to make sure that you're covered in all these areas as well.)
