Re: business tax question for CA
No, you need a license and a fictitious name filed with the county/city in order to claim on your taxes. Who ever set up your DBA account at the bank is an idiot. At most, if not all, banks you need to have proof of your fictitious and license before getting an account (which is what I assume you mean by 'having a dba'). If you don't, then you're not legally anything, just a person detailing cars.
Unless you're a CPA or have owned a business a long time, I would NOT suggest filing your taxes by yourself. I happen to work for a bank, so I know a few people who know CPA's for business who can help me out when the time comes. Think about taking a class on Quickbooks. It's pretty easy to use if you get the basic version, and that way when you're ready to file taxes you don't have to do much work, quickbooks will enter everything in (assuming you use turbo tax which is also made by intuit).
Good luck
