Assistance with Quarterly Sales and Use Tax Return (Texas)

[hj80]

I have never had to complete a quarterly Texas Sales and Tax Use Return.  Could someone please assist?  It is asking me to confirm Total Texas Sales, Taxable Sales and Taxable Purchases.  I just sold one item.  Total was $260.23 paid by Buyer.  $175 for item + $16.63 tax + $68.60.  I then paid $7.85 Ebay fee.  My question is the Total Texas Sales the $260.23 and the Taxable sales also $260.23 (since in Texas you are to charge tax on shipping)?  What is Taxable Purchases? Then on next screen it has two fields Amount Subject to Local Tax for the City and then same for the County.  Do I enter 260.63 for both of those as well?

Sorry, obviously really new at this, so just want to make sure I don't enter it wrong.

You need to be talking to your states appropriate department.  They have instructions, usually detailed, for any report you have to fill out.  It isn't likely that your cost of sales is what your state is looking for unless you have a state income tax report you are trying to fill out too.

First you should see if you are required to file and how:
