Answer 1

Not sure what exactly you are asking since you start by stating you are self-employed. The tax that is usually passed on to customers is the sales tax. This is probably what you are talking about.

You will need to contact your state taxing authority to determine what your local sales tax rate is. You will also need to find out which sales you should charge sales tax on. For example, sales tax is usually collected on sales of goods, but not services.

Answer 2

Whatever the sales tax rate is for your state. Contact your state's tax department and sign up for sales tax collection and payment.
