Here is the tax id number (s) and permit (s) the law requires you to get because you are starting a new small business:  You need to get (1) a Tax Registration license, (2) a DBA business name certificate.  (3) a buyer's or wholesale license permit and, (4) a federal id number.  NOTE: You don’t need a seller’s permit if your business is located in Alaska, Oregon or New Hampshire – Use your federal tax id when they ask you for a wholesale tax id number.  However, if your business is located in (Michigan, Georgia, New York, Maryland and Nevada,) you will need to obtain a Federal Tax Id, in addition to a Seller’s Permit / Wholesale License.  There are some modifications, for example, instead of getting a DBA business name certificate, it is recommended forming an LLC or incorporate your small business.  Forming an LLC or incorporating is probably the best and most inexpensive insurance against business creditors and business related judgment holders, who are after your personal assets.  In concluding, keep in mind that if you do form an LLC or incorporate, you will also need to obtain a federal id number.
