Default Having Clients Out of State or Country
Hi everyone!

I'm sure information on this is here somewhere, but I couldn't seem to find it.

Does anyone know how it works if we are getting business that is out of state in the U.S.? Do we have to register in each of those states, or learn the laws of other countries that we may get a client from? ut:

I'm getting much closer to launching, and definitely don't want to market to just in state - but worried I may not be dotting all my t's.

Thanks so much!!
Pam

You only have to register with another State if you are doing business "in" that State, since you are working virtually from your home you only qualify as doing business "in" the State in which you reside. So, no, you do not have to register in any other State.

I don't do business with anybody outside the US so I am not familiar with the laws or tax consequences there. I think the same rules apply as far as registering, but there may be different tax consequences you need to research for receiving foreign money. I would check out www.irs.gov or talk to a CPA that is familiar with businesses who receive foreign monies.
