Question

I am currently full-time employed. If I create a DBA would my current full-time income be considered as the DBAs income ?

Asks:

What tax impact does a DBA (assuming it still is not generating revenue) have if I am still full-time employed in a Corporate America job.

Hi Takeo,

Your "DBA" (by which I assume you mean "sole proprietorship") income is considered as business income on your tax returns, and if there's enough of it, you can apply business expense deductions to that business income. Your normal job income (where taxes are already withheld and you receive a W2 each year) is considered as normal personal income, and is not taxed as business income (but you also cannot apply business expenses as deductions to this income).

Hi Takeo,

If you have registered your business with the Federal and State governments and have your Federal Employee ID number and State Business Tax ID, then you will file a business tax return along with your personal tax returns. Any net business income (after business deductions) would then be added to your personal income as a line item as you complete your personal returns.

see for example the schedule C form for the Federal returns here:
