...declare myself as a business? as a photographer I am asked by friends (and friends of friends) for head shots, lately I have started to charge. Do I need to declare my self as a business for tax purposes?
I'd strongly suggest it's better to be safe than sorry. Even a minor can be charged with tax evasion - it's happened! What taxes, you may ask? Sales tax, which you're required by law to collect and remit to the state.
