Post subject: tax id number
Archived from groups: alt>ecommerce (more info?)
Hi-
I was interested in getting a tax id number, but I discovered that if you
don't have any employees and don't pay any pension or excise taxes then you
just use your social security number as your tax id number. Can anyone
confirm that I'm interpreting this correctly? Does that mean I don't even
have to apply? Can I still get access to the wholesalers? Any info will be
greatly appreciated, and replies will harbor good karma Smile
Thanks-
Judy
p.s. I'm in Pennsylvania if that matters.

Usually wholesalers are looking for a Tax Resale Certificate from your
state. This shows the wholesaler that your are a retailer and collect sales
taxes from your customers, so they don't have to charge you sales tax.
Wholesalers also request that number to verify that you are a real retailer
or dealer, and not someone just requesting information or a catalog to find
out what retailers are paying for their merchandise.

The tax id number I think your talking about is your EIN, Employer
Identification Number. An EIN is a nine-digit number (for example,
12-3456789) assigned to sole proprietors, corporations, partnerships,
estates, trusts, and other entities for tax filing and reporting purposes.
Since your are not incorporated your usually have the option of using your
Social Security number.

As always, check with your account and lawyer to make sure your following
all the rules of your state and country.

Good Luck,
Dave

By just filing for the EIN, you can completely seperate your expenses
from the company with it's own checking account. Since, the EIN is
free(already paid for), and you will need it when you expand and grow,
might as well get it.

IMHO,

Tom

Years ago, when I started my first business (small consignment shop), I had
zero employees and didn't make enough to pay taxes. I got a Tax ID number
before I even opened my store.

Thanks to everyone for your advice, which I found very valuable. I
discovered you can apply online and get your EIN in just a few minutes and
did so tonight. So now I'm official, right?
Thanks again!!

The Tax ID is generally optional in your case. Wholesalers don't seem to
care if you have a tax ID or an SSN for your company, as long as you are a
registered business and have a registration number.
