Vendor Questions, NY!

Hey guys!

So, I’ve been debating what to do- I want to be a vendor while remaining a hobby. To Vend, I need a NY sales tax certificate. But do I need an LLC? Can I just be a DBA? Can I remain unregistered until I become a business?

I’ve looked everywhere online and can’t find any information!

So my biggest questions are;

Do I HAVE to become an LLC or DBA to become a vendor?

If not, how do I get the NY tax certificate?

And lastly, if I remain unregistered but still make sales (vending or not), how do I go about reporting that for tax time?

I appreciate any information! If some other NY state breeders that go vending could answer, that’d be great!
