Amazon KDP & Nexus Tax Law Question
As some of you know, I'm taking action. I've set up my blog in the Lupus niche, I'm working on some PLR articles and learning how to write sales copy. I can write, but I write information. I've never written for the purpose of selling anything. I've also outlined a kindle ebook.
My plan was to monetize the Lupus blog with Amazon and Adsense. No problem with the Adsense, but I had to slam on the brakes when it came to Amazon.
Amazon no longer likes Arkansas apparently, because of the Nexus Tax Law that I never heard anything about (how's that for burying my head in the sand?). Therefore, they don't want me to be their affiliate. That isn't my question - I really wasn't expecting to make a great deal of money from that blog anyway - I see that as more of an interest, and if Adsense can even come close to supporting it, that's fine, and I'll try to think of other ways to monitize it, although I'm not sure how if all affiliate programs stop allowing Arkansas residents to become affiliates.
But the Kindle issue is another story. Amazon did let me sign up as a publisher, using my Arkansas address. I just don't want to be surprised in the future. So, does anyone who lives in a state with the Nexus Tax Law in place, who is also a KDP publisher have any information that I should know about, before something jumps up and bites me in the arse? Is it safer to scrap the Kindle idea now and take another route?
I know some of you will suggest that I set up an LLC in another state, but I'm not sure how legal that is, how expensive it might be, or if I even have the energy...and that is a separate and more complicated issue anyway.
I really just need advice on KDP and how that affects authors in states where the Nexus Tax Law exists - that's all I can absorb for one day.
Any and all information and advice will be greatly appreciated.
Almost time for my nap!
