Hi there @bountykhai !
I’d like to share some info on how we can and cannot help out when it comes to taxes and Shopify.
The first, most important thing to clarify is that we cannot help you to determine your tax liability or answer any questions on the nature or amount of taxes you should be charging.
As such, we would always have to direct you to consult a qualified tax professional in your jurisdiction with all such queries.
When you do know this info, you can check out our guide to setting up US taxes in Shopify here on our help site.
This is all important info, but particularly relevant to your case would be the info on dropshipping; whether you charge tax depends on the location of your customer and where you and your dropshipping vendor have nexus.
Spend some time reviewing that help doc, check in with a tax professional, and once you know your liabilities you can set up your tax settings appropriately.
Have you thought about a specific product niche you might be interested in for your dropshipping store?
