How do I apply for state tax ID number?
Go the website of your state’s department of revenue. Most states, if not all, assign tax ID numbers online. This is the easiest and fastest way to receive an ID number. In many cases, you will leave the website with your new number in hand in a matter of minutes. To find the website for your state, search for “(Your State) Department of Revenue” in your Web browser. State websites can be a difficult, but usually, if you go to the business section for payroll withholdings, you will find links to an online application. Another section or tab which will lead you in the right direction is to go to the Web page where the withholding tax forms are found. There you will find links to an online application or be able to download an application to fill out by hand.
