Hi Lynnette, I know about getting the fictitious name, but wasn't aware of "getting a DBA". I just thought when you have a sole proprietorship and you list your name and your company name on anything the DBA is understood. My husband has his own Heating & A/C business and his liability/business auto/workers comp insurance policies say Charles Cianciotti DBA Cianciotti Heating & A/C, never paid for that or signed any papers to get it. Or is that only if you have a business name that doesn't have your name in it? Sorry, I am confused. Lisa Cianciotti

The DBA is so I could also have my name on the accounts at the bank. I have it as: Lynnette Madden DBA Salon 29. I did not have to pay for that in PA.

I went to the County offices and took care of it right there, and they could look up and make sure that no one else was using that particular DBA name. As for an accountant, the man that I used did not charge a consult fee, just a fee for doing my taxes. I am pretty sure it was around $237. This is all for being owner of my own home shop. When I was a booth renter, in NY state I had to have a booth renters license, and my own insurance. Hope this info helps.

I am having a hard time finding an accountant that won't charge me a $100 consultation fee just to meet them! The one I did consult with wanted me to form an LLC or a DBA, at the cost of $400. ????? As a renter is this truly necessary? And he thinks I may need a business license seperate from the one the salon owner already has...again,more $$$$$. I am a bit overwhelmed by this revelation. I am still looking for someone I do not feel is a crook to do my taxes. Insight?

Pam don't forget car expenses and license plates and maybe insurance. In fact any insurance you pay.any gifts that you bought your clients. Advertising, Even if you made your own flyers on your own computer. Turn those numbers in. I personally turn every damn penny I have spent in the year, and let the accountant figure if it is deductible or not. diana from indiana At 10:51 PM 2/14/2009, you wrote: >Pam,I JUST finished mine about an hour ago.
