it also says that i need to file the taxes quarterly...what if i don't make a sale in that time period? do i still need to?

Yep - you just file "no sales" (easy to do online).
If you don't, they'll fine you for late filing (I think it's $40)

You can also file annually. Just ask to be setup on an annual tax payment basis.

This will work until you have a large tax amount due and then they will switch you to quarterly.

Just remember that you have to keep that tax money available when it is due or they hit you with hefty late fees and or penalties.

If you think keeping the tax money seperate and not spending it on an annual basis could be a problem, better keep with the quarterly.
