    California wants you to. Because they want the corporate taxes from it. I have a lot of friends in Cali who set up a NV corp or LLC to save money. They didn't file in California.

    You can always check with a tax attorney. That is always best.

    What type of vitamins do you sell? I am trying to get a vitamin site up too.

      I guess an attorney will do. These things can get complicated sometimes. I will keep you guys posted as these might help out future online business personnel.

    I'm definitely no expert, but I did some research lately as I just incorporated a business in Wyoming and came across some info on foreign corp.

    It seems that if you are shipping the product yourself, on behalf of the company, from California - you would be required to file for a foreign corp as you have "business presence" in that state.

    But even if that is the case, you could probably set up an intermediary company that "ships" the product and sends the profits back to your delaware corp ....

    Your best bet is to talk with an accountant/attorney in your state.
    Don't take any advice online for more than what they're worth.

    Alex.

    I would max def incorporate in NV your taxes are less. It is easy to set up shop there too. CA taxes are terrible.

    You can incorporate at Nevada. If I am not wrong, Nevada taxes are low. Go to IncParadise dot com (not an affiliate link). There is a lot of information there.
