Found advice on here about trying to start a wedding photography business. The advice I found was do not get a business license at first and try a couple of weddings and see if you are going to stick with it or not. All may not agree on it but my question is in California it sounds like the total price charged is taxable. Is that correct? Then if so how do you report sales tax if you don’t have a license? And if the reply is don’t then I would ask about my bank, they opened us a business checking account without a business license and or fictitious name. Does the bank report income deposited into that to any one? I am only asking in case this business does not take off what do I do about sales tax?

You are correct about the entire selling price charged to customers being subject to sales tax in CA. In order to report the sales tax , you need to get a seller's permit with the Board of Equalization. You don't need a business license to apply for a sellers permit. There is no charge. Follow the link provided to find your local BOE office. If your business does not take off, it is easy to close your permit.
If you don't get a seller's permit, but get audited by the BOE, the auditor will look at your bank accounts, both private (if you are a sole proprietor) and business. They can get a subpeona if you don't hand the statements over voluntarily. If you can't prove otherwise, the deposits will be considered taxable income. The BOE exchanges information with the FTB (CA income tax) who exchanges info with the IRS, so you could get audited by all three.

As long as it had the following elements: kept under a certain budget, incorporated blue and green colors and everyone was barefoot on the beach for the ceremony. All of my projects are from the heart, but this set up shop in a special nook, as I was her Ma
