Does an Artist selling paintings ata craft show need a tax number?
Yes, you must register for a sales permit and collect sales tax
on any crafts including paintings that you sell. Please be certain
of the sales tax in the location you are selling, the sales tax at
that particular location is the correct amount. For example, in WI,
there can be state, county and local sales taxes. If you are in a
particular county and city where the sales taxes are higher, you
will need to collect that amount and remit the sales tax
appropriately. Sincerely, Kari, CPA
