    P212121 Store: Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    I had a discussion with my CPA about my taxes and told him about my online store. I found out that you need a license to charge sales tax in Ohio. I don't know where else (such as other states) this applies, but hadn't seen it mentioned on here before so thought I would share.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think JLaw maybe evaluating the cost vs. time which in his/her case would be 1300 an hour, which is more than most pay for roofing or dishes. If one doesn't know anything about wordpress and it takes you 20 hours to install it then it may make sense to hire it out.
