What You're Required to Know

U.S. Federal Tax Obligations for Online Sellers

IRS Form 1099-K: ShopFlow will issue a 1099-K if you process over $600 in sales in a calendar year (effective 2024). You must report this income on your federal tax return.
Self-Employment Tax: Sole proprietors owe 15.3% SE tax on net earnings above $400/year.
Sales Tax Nexus: Since the South Dakota v. Wayfair (2018) Supreme Court ruling, states can require out-of-state sellers to collect sales tax once they exceed economic nexus thresholds (typically $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions per state).
Resale Certificates: If purchasing wholesale goods for resale, obtain a state resale certificate to avoid paying sales tax on inventory.
Home Occupation Permit: Many municipalities require a business license or home occupation permit even for online-only sellers.

Consumer Protection Laws

FTC Act Section 5: Prohibits unfair or deceptive acts. Listings must be accurate — no fake reviews, misleading descriptions, or bait-and-switch.
Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA): You may not sell recalled, unsafe, or non-compliant products. Check CPSC.gov before listing any children's products.
CAN-SPAM Act: Marketing emails to buyers must include an unsubscribe option and your physical address.
GDPR / CCPA: If selling to EU or California residents, you must comply with applicable data privacy laws.

Intellectual Property

You may not list counterfeit, replica, or unauthorized reproductions of branded goods.
Product photos you upload must be owned by you or properly licensed.
Brand names, logos, and trademarks of third parties may not appear in your store name.
