Need sales tax id numbert selling baby clothes in rented booth.

A State Tax ID is your tax registration with the Secretary of States office, both opening your tax account, and putting your business on the rolls as far as taxes are concerned. This means that you will be kept up to date concerning any and all taxes you are expected to pay as well as the details pursuant to it.

I buy wholesale clothing, purses, and shoes online and then sell them online through ebay, graigslist, other internet classifieds, and to family and friends. I just want to do this from home on the internet.

While the specifics change, some things stay the same. Among them, the nature of certifying a business. The how of getting a State Tax ID is a constant.

The law is equally immutable on this matter. All businesses that operate in a state require a a State Tax ID. This is covered by various statutes pertaining to sales tax, use tax, and finance, but it is inescapable. At the end of the day, the law demands a State Tax ID. And it is best that you obey the law.

You need A Business License, A DBA and A Seller's Permit. 

All businesses are required to obtain a business license, so you need:

1. A Business License.

2. You are not using your last name in your business name so you will need to file a DBA business name certificates, and

3. Since you are selling taxable items, you need a Seller's Permit.

NOTE: You don’t need a seller’s permit if your business is located in Alaska, Oregon or New Hampshire - In these states, you can use a federal tax id number instead of a resellers / seller’s permit number.

However, if your business is located in any of these states(Michigan, Georgia, New York, Maryland and Nevada, you will need to obtain a Federal Tax Id, in addition to a Sellers Permit. It’s recommended that instead of a DBA certificate, you may want to incorporate of form an LLC to protect your personal assets from transactions arising out of business transactions. In general, forming an LLC is a good choose.

Not just limited to audits and fines, the State department of revenue is no less litigous than the IRS and no less likely to catch with you.
