Quick Question From a Newbie Re: Tax

In summary, as a self-employed Pampered Chef consultant, you are responsible for paying federal and state income taxes, as well as self-employment taxes. It is important to keep accurate records of your income and expenses, and you may want to consider hiring an accountant or using accounting software to help with tax preparation. If you expect to owe more than $1,000 in taxes for the year, it is recommended that you make quarterly estimated tax payments. As a self-employed consultant, you may also be able to take advantage of tax deductions for business-related expenses such as supplies, marketing, and travel. The cost of your starter kit can also be deducted as a business expense, but it may need to be spread out over several years. It

Is the sales tax according to the address of the host?

I've got a catalog show going but the host lives in one county - took it to work in a different county & is getting orders from some people in a 3rd county! LOL But since it's shipping to her home I use her county's sales tax, right!?

Thank you!!!
 
Right. The sales tax is connected to where the show is being shipped to. For example, my mom lives here in PA, but works in NJ. NJ has higher taxes, so her guests get to enjoy cheaper shipping due to the fact that everything is getting shipped to a PA address.
