Just the DBA or whatever license is necessary to operate as a business would be needed from the state?

How would you go about setting things up to handle the state taxes?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, the "reseller license" is simply an informal "permission" from the publisher or author.

A DBA is required only if you're using a business name other than your own personal name. To get set up to deal with sales tax, you can go to your state's website and download the sales/use tax application.
