Question: What is a Reseller Application number and Sales Tax Resale #?

I’m wanting to sell on e-bay, but all suppliers want a Reseller Number , Fed ID number. What are these? Do they cost?

Answer: The Employer Identification Number (EIN) or federal tax identification number is easy to get. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) web site at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html contains all the information you need about EIN and how to apply for an EIN electronically.

Sales tax is an excise tax imposed on the sale of goods and certain services. Check with your state’s Department of Revenue (or however this agency is called in your state) and check their procedures for getting this number for your business, If you are in South Carolina, this is their form for applying for resale certificate http://www.sctax.org/NR/rdonlyres/B07F32FC-0289-49E6-ABC2-DC1D33AE624C/0/ST8a.pdf#search=%22SALES%20TAX%20RESALE%20SOUTH%20CAROLINA%22

Tax Help : Do I Need a Sales Tax ID Number?

Question: If the feds want me to file electronically why don’t they supply a way to do it?

I think is laughable that their is no way to file electronically supplied my the gov’t yet they want me to file electronically.

Seems to me there should be a simple way for me to send my taxes electronically; I mean every form has an Id number, and every box that has a value is numbered, so I should be able to simply send a 3 tupple list of form id, box number, value to the irs. why can’t I?

For example:
form; box; value;
1040; 7; 28000;
1040;8; 1400;
…

Now a lot of the forms might need box id numbers, like the socal security number box, etc; but that should be pretty simple.
I mean for free. I should be able to go to the irs website, download an HTML page, cgi form, etc, that generates the necessary output.

I should not have to pay a single dime to pay my taxes

what a crock.

Answer: The Federal and State governments have tried to make e-filing easier for taxpayers every year. Especially low-income filers. This is the first year I have ever e-filed!
