Be careful,  If you don’t file your statements with the city correctly or in a timely manner or ignore their notices - they will send you a bill for estimated income you should be making and then they fine you when you don’t pay the minimum $2700 a year in advance.

Just a warning from some one who did $500 worth of work (a real low ball bid based on all sorts of promises for additional work that never materialized) in the City of Oakland for the City of Oakland and then was charged $2700 in taxes because they estimated what they thought I should have earned in their city.  It took 3 years to resolve - and that guy (a supervisor) has left his job so you may not have anyone as enlightened to work with if you have a similar problem.

Wait no! There's a lot of confusion here. A DBA is NOT a business license and there is no reason to involve Eddan.

A business license is something you get from the city. It's just a way for them to extract a fee and put you in the database of people who have to pay the 1% city of oakland business tax. Someone needs to go to the right bureaucratic office in Oakland and register us and pay the fee. Then we need to tell them that we're a 501c3 (when that actually happens) so we can escape the 1% tax.
