I am selling goods online and they are stored in warehouses across the country. Would I be able to from a domestic LLC out of state even I am operating the online business on my computer? I may also open a business banking account here where I live.

Absolutely: there is no law requiring an LLC (or, for that matter, a corporation) to be formed in the same state as the business carries on business. You may legally form your LLC in any state you like, then carry on operations in any other state(s).
