   I'm looking into starting up a BBS, and hoping to turn it into
a small business.  But I'm in the dark with regard to just what
legal issues may be involved.
   A few of the questions I have: 
     
     1. At what point does any profit realized become taxable?
     2. Legal issues involving a home business of this sort?
     3. Licenses, etc..?

   Any help is greatly appreciated.
