You can access and look at the form at
http://www.boe.ca.gov/pdf/boe401a2.pdf.

Gross sales are reported on the front of the return, and
deductions are itemized on the back and the total brought
forward to deduct from gross sales.

The form and instructions are pretty self-explanatory.

You will also find the application form for a seller's
permit on the SBE's web site. You cannot sell taxable items
in California until you have been issued a seller's permit.
Again, the form and instructions are pretty clear. The form
for individuals or partnerships is at
http://www.boe.ca.gov/pdf/boe400mip.pdf. Corporations, LLCs
and other organizations use the form at
http://www.boe.ca.gov/pdf/boe400mco.pdf.

For starters you need a sales permit from the California
State Board of Equalization. There are different forms
depending on type of business, etc. Look them up on the
internet for information.
