Hi ZonkaRacing,
Welcome to SaleHoo! It's great to have you on board. Exactly what you need to get a sales tax ID varies by location. You may need:
* To be a business entity. This means you are a company or sole proprietor. Being a sole proprietor means you are working for yourself under your own name. If you are working for yourself (which is how most people get started selling online), just fill in your own name under your business trading name. Being a company means that you have registered a company under a trading name.

* To have a Federal Tax ID number.

So, where do you get your sellers' permit (Sales Tax ID)?
You can try Googling it – Most states and provinces have an online form on their website these days. You may be charged a small fee, this varies from state to state, but it's usually around $50.
If you can’t find any information online on how to get a seller permit, then just contact or visit your local County Clerk Office.
