Musicians & B&O Tax in Washington State?

This post is a continuation of the topic of being a musician and taxes in Washington State. Bottom line, if you are getting paid to perform or if you are teaching lessons, you are going to need to pay B&O taxes. You need a business license and an excise tax account with the Washington State Department of Revenue (DOR). More on that in my previous post. More on amounts and what's what in this post.
