I have tried to look on here for an answer to this but have not figured out how to do a search. I have a full time job, but also do some photography on the side. I want to keep everything on the up and up, but I can't really seem to find what I am looking for in the way of answers. I want to know if since I am taking some payment for my services if I have to consider myself a small business? Do I have to charge sales tax? I live in Kansas, and does anyone know what I need to do to keep myself out of any hot water? From what I can tell, the difference is that a business can report losses, and a hobbyist can make itemized deductions up to the amount that they earned. Anything else that I should know? As of right now I am not looking to start up a business, but maybe someday.
