You will need to go through the process of getting your business on your state business list and gain a license. From there you can apply for a Tax id.

You'll follow the same incorporation practices of any small business and your local business bureau can guide you in this. You are bound by the laws of not only the state you incorporate in, but the states that your business reaches, and federal. Delaware has the most liberal incorporation laws.

You incorporate your business in your state. Or you can incorporate in another state like Nevada with the necessary legal forms and proof of legal presence (mailing address, for example). Then you set up the website or add to the existing website the note of your incorporated name and any legal disclaimers.

Incorporating an e-commerce business is exactly the same as incorporating any other business. You must file the same articles of incorporation.

In order to go about incorporating an e-commerce business you would need to start by getting an attorney to make sure that you have all of the correct paperwork and documents. Then you would need to get an accountant to keep your books and all of your tax information for you. The rest will fall into place.

Exactly as you would incorporate any other business. There are useful handbooks on getting incorporated. The process is not complex; you need not pay hefty fees to attorneys.
