Sales and Use Tax Return form from the State Board of Equalization in California?

Question

Can I estimate my total gross sales in box 1. I have a pretty good estimate how much I sold but am clueless on everything else. I plan on hiring a CPA but for now was wondering if this will get me through.

Thanks

PS. I live in northern Calif and am looking for a CPA that is knowledgeable in sales that have been primarily made through ebay and amazon.

Thanks

Answer 1

No, you must use the exact figures.  When you are audited you'll have to prove the numbers you claim.  Note that I didn't say "if" you are audited, but "when."  It will happen, sooner or later, so you had better get your financial records in order quickly.

Answer 2

If you made sales through eBay and Amazon, you should be able to track which are subject to California sales tax and which are not.   I'm a northern California EA.  You can email me through my profile if you want more information.
