Question: Do I need an EIN for a non-profit organization in NYS?

So, I’d like to start a non-profit organization in NYS.
Help the community, donate items to teen parent programs, charity programs etc.
I’ve been doing research and can’t seem to word my searches right lol. Do I need an EIN for a non-profit organization, or how do I sign up to be tax exempt for such a thing?

Answer: so there are 2 possibilities - and Employer Identification Number - a nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to business entities operating in the United States for the purposes of identification. or a TIN - Tax Identification Number - a number used for identification rather than employment tax reporting.

So if you want a number for tax payment get an EIN. If you want it for Identification purpsoses, get a TIN.

Good luck to you!

Question: How does do you get rid of an EIN number from the IRS?

I wanted to buy items from legitimate wholesalers and drop shippers, however, I needed a sales tax ID to be able to buy from them. I thought that in order to get my sales tax ID, I needed an EIN (employer identification number). So I got the EIN from the IRS. Then I got my IBT (Illinois Business Tax number or sales tax ID). Then I contacted someone from the Illinois Revenue and I found out that I do not need an EIN. You see, all I want to do is buy items from wholesalers or drop shippers and then sell those items on eBay. That is it. I will never have employees so I will never need an EIN. I fear that having an EIN may make my tax paying unnecessarily more difficult so this brings me to my question: How do I get rid of my EIN? I know I should call the IRS…but my phone just broke. Thus, I am basically asking how I can get rid of this thing online. Thank you all.

I looked here: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html
