Tax ID Legally Required Tax Id Numbers

If You Are Starting a Business, You May Need

a Tax Id Number Number

Legally, you are required to identify your business with one of two numbers: either your Social Security number or an EIN or employer identification tax id number. A Social Security number can be used on all your government tax id number forms and other tax id number official documents, if you are a sole proprietor, but most small business advisors recommend that you apply for a Federal Tax Id Number (EIN) and use that number instead.

Here is where you will need to use this number: All corporations, employers, and those that need to use a business Tax Id Number # instead of their SS#, are required to have it. Also, in tax resale certificates and some other business tax forms , you are required to provide this number.

If You Are Starting a Business, You May Need ANYTHING ELSE?

If you use a name other than your own personal name to operate a business, you are legally required to file

a DBA Certificate , also known as a dba (doing business as) form.

A corporation or llc, is probably the best and cheapest insurance for you and your new small business if you want to limit your civil, tax, and personal liability.

If you buy or sell wholesale or retail and the goods or items bought or sold are taxable, you need a Reseller License or

Wholesale License.

If you will hire employees you are required to obtain a federal tax id number (Employer Identification Number EIN) as well as

a state Tax Id Number as well (for California).

In most cases, you are required to get a local

or state permit or Tax ID , even if you are

working from home -

but note: 99.9 percent of all businesses are required to have

a Tax ID or business tax registration certificate

( both the same).
