Celebrating 30 years of Molly Cromwell Presents...Miniature Shows!

I'm so looking forward to 2013 and a whole year of celebrating the anniversary of my first miniatures show in 1983. We have a stellar line up of legends and newcomers to delight collectors and first timers, alike. Please print out this information so you can refer to it...and the show or shows, you'll be participating in.

My original show was the Tysons Corner Dollhouse Show held in both May and October, 1983. We've changed the name to the Mid-Atlantic Miniatures Festival, taking place in October 2013. I will announce the Northern Virginia suburb of Washington, DC site after the first of the year...in the meantime,let me know if you would like a contract for this show. It's going to be a great celebration you won't want to miss!

Registering for Massachusetts Sales Tax

*These instructions are intended for anyone who has never attended a show as a vendor in Massachusetts and needs to register for sales tax. If you have attended a show in the past, contact me. We may be able to reopen an old registration.*

Any questions, feel free to contact:

Robin Diaz of the MA Dept. of Revenue
508-792-7300 Ext. 22435
Email: Diazro@dor.state.ma.us

Here are the instructions to register online:

Go to www.mass.gov/dor and do the following:

Click on "Webfile for Business" near the top of the screen (it's a big icon)

Then "Register Now"

Then select the second option "I am registering to file, pay taxes or submit new hire reports for my company only."

Then select the second option "My business is not registered with the Massachusetts Department of Revenue to file/pay taxes. I now wish to register my business with the Massachusetts Department of Revenue and wish to register to file/pay electronically."

Then "Begin Registration"

If you are only attending this one show in MA during the year, when the form gets to the section where it asks you if the business is "seasonal," select "yes" and click on "June." If you will be attending additional shows, click on those months as well. This is so that you only need to file a return for that (those) particular month(s). Also, you must file a return for that (those) particular months every year until you cancel your registration. Massachusetts does not offer temporary registrations. This registration will be permanent until you elect to close it. If you decide later that you do want to close it, call or send me an email and I will assist you. (Tip: Keep your username and password for future use in a safe place. Since the password is case sensitive, be sure to reflect that in your notes.)

Also, there is a section during the registration that states that adding a bank account is optional. To save you some time and confusion later, please complete the bank information. In order to pay your taxes, we will need this information. If you file your return online, you must also pay online.

To file your return after the show, do the following:

Log into your account on Webfile for Business.

Once logged in and on the Welcome page, click on "File, Pay, or Amend Returns."

Then click "Select an Action."

Then "File a return."

Then "Start" next to the appropriate tax period (in this case, 06/30/13). You do not need to file all the other months that are listed. Only file the months you registered for, unless you participate in another show during the year. Then file a return for that month, as well.

At the end of the return, it will ask you if you want to make the payment. Click "yes" and the payment will be taken out of the bank account you provided. This will complete the entire process. You should receive a confirmation number.

If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call. I walk people through Webfile for Business all the time. It is much easier than it sounds. Please inform the promoter of any show you attend of your sales tax ID number. Promoters are required by the MA Dept. of Revenue to collect and submit vendor information to us.

Thank you,
