First of all, if you intend to sell tangible items be it online or out of a brick and mortar building you must register with the BOE (California State Board Of Equalization). Then you must report and file taxes with them every single year you do business, failing to do so can result in imprisonment and fines. They are also extremely helpful and can answer any of your tax questions like: information on what is taxable, district taxes, and more.
The EDD office administers California's payroll taxes. This includes Unemployment Insurance, Employment Training Tax, State Disability Insurance, and Personal Income Tax withholding.

CaliforniaState Tax Information: Conclusion
Just remember that no matter how painful it may be, you must file and do it honestly. The IRS may be slow sometimes but eventually they do catch up with you. There are several tax breaks that can make it easier on you and lower the amount you may have to pay. In order to find out more about these you should go to a tax preparer so that you can cut down your payment to the smallest amount possible.
This also applies on the flip side of the proverbial coin... those who are receiving a refund can optimize the check they end up getting. You would be surprise at how many tax breaks can be applied to your life and increase the amount you get back.
