Creating an LLC does NOT automatically register your business for Pennsylvania sales tax.

If your business sells taxable goods or certain services in PA, you may need a Sales Tax License separately through the state. This is one of the most common misunderstandings for new business owners — especially online businesses, boutiques, beauty businesses, vendors, and service providers.

Why it matters:
• You can’t legally collect sales tax without being registered
• The state can assess penalties and back taxes later
• Fixing it early is usually much easier than waiting

Not every business needs sales tax registration, but every business owner should know the difference.

Education and compliance go hand in hand. Save this post for later & share it with another PA entrepreneur.

Friendly reminder — tax season is almost over!

The deadline to file your taxes is April 15, 2026.

We prepare and file taxes in all 50 states.

For clients located in Pennsylvania, there are typically three types of taxes:
• Federal tax
• State tax
• Local earned income tax (based on where you live/work)

Small business owners — this is especially important for you!

If your business operates in Harrisburg City, don’t forget about the mercantile tax. This is separate from your federal, state, and local income taxes. It is a city tax based on your business’s gross receipts (total revenue, not profit) and is filed directly with the city.

This payment is also due April 15.

Reminder: Filing extensions may give you more time to submit your return, but payments are still due by the deadline to avoid penalties.

If you need help or have questions, feel free to reach out!

What is a Mileage Log?

A mileage log is a simple record of all the miles you drive for your business.

Purpose:
The IRS requires proof for any miles you claim as a business deduction. Without a log, your deduction could be disallowed — especially if you’re claiming high mileage.

✅ Tip: Only business-related trips count — trips from home to your regular work site are commuting and not deductible.

Think of your mileage log as insurance for your deduction: it protects you and your business while maximizing your tax benefits.

Being a college student doesn’t automatically make someone independent for tax purposes. Enrollment, financial support, and living arrangements all factor into whether they can be claimed as a dependent.
