You May Need a Tax Id Number
Number
When Starting a Business, all
businesses, including home based businesses, internet
businesses, ebay, online web sites,
professional practices, contractors or any other business,
in Kentucky are required to identify their business
with one of two numbers: either a 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 federal Tax Id
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.
