Hi there,
I'm at a bit of a standstill because I just cannot seem to find a good answer about this. My primary residence is in Michigan, however I stay and work in Maryland. I developed a software product and I'd like to sell it online, but I have no idea whether I need to charge sales tax. I'm planning on giving the demo software away for free, and selling activation codes online.
Is the code a tangible good? Do I need to charge sales tax? I can probably start my business in either state (Michigan or Maryland), although Maryland would be easier since I'm there more of the time. Does it matter which one I start my business in?
Thank you!
