Home Based
Does a Home Based Business Need a Sellers Permit? What other permits and Tax IDs Does a Home Based Business Needs to Legally Start business operations?
A home based business needs a sellers permit if it sells or leases products or equipment that is taxable. All products, food, equipment that anyone can touch is taxable.
In addition, a home based business must decide on the business type of organization as a sole proprietor, LLC, partnership or corporation.
Furthermore, a general business permit and a federal tax ID number is also required for any of the above business type organizations.
Note that the majority of home or other businesses do not need a specific type of general business permit. They only need a general business permit. Even if they need a specific business permit, as is the case of a learned professional or a tradesman, they still need a general business permit in addition to their professional or trade license.
The only exception to a federal tax ID number is a sole proprietor, who can use a ss# instead of a Federal ID.
However, even sole proprietors as well as all other business type organizations that are employers, independent contractors, LLCs, or corporation must obtain a federal tax ID number.
Any type of business organization, including sole owners, must obtain a state employer tax ID if hiring employees.
Finally, a sole owner (i.e., an one person business) can obtain and use a federal ID as a business tax ID instead of the social security number and, in addition, he or she can form an LLC or set up a corporation instead of organizing as a sole proprietor.
