How do I learn to do sales tax bookkeeping?

Question

i'm going to be opening an online retail store and need to learn how to do the bookkeeping for sales tax and how to pay it. Does anyone know a good book that teaches you this that isn't to expensive? Or know a website that explains it in detail? Should i just hire a bookkeeper? Please help!

Answer 1

Check out a tech school that offers accounting, maybe they have a class you could take.

Go to amazon.com under the books section and type in what you need. I found several selections about bookkeeping & taxes, but you would know better what will work for you.

Answer 2

I recommend hiring a bookkeeper so that the sales tax and the bookkeeping are done correctly.  You can always take a course at a later date and learn this skill yourself.  But if you've already started your business, you need to make sure the bookkeeping is being taken care of properly from the beginning.

Answer 3

You don't.
