I guess I'm not really understanding your question.
In order to legally do business and report on your taxes (in washington state for example) you need to register your entity as a business with the state -- in the form of a business license.
I only used the phrase "web based business" assuming you have no physical property (retail) or employees which add additional licensing requirements and more complexity.
