A: If you are taking about income taxes, the answer will depend on whether you have any income. However, you must remember that there are MANY kinds of taxes. If your business is incorporated or a limited liability company, you must pay the minimum of $800 per year franchise tax. I assume you have a business license from your city or county, and that fee is also a form of a tax. You should talk with a CPA or enrolled agent to find out the best way to save on taxes once your business gets rolling. Best wishes!
