[pianotech] business license?

[William Monroe]

Hi Mike,

Yes, I have a Seller's Permit as well.  That is the State TIN that I have to
carry as well.  So when you speak of a business license, you are referring
to your Seller's Permit?  I never equated the two.  So in this case it
appears we may be referring to the same thing in WI - a Seller's Permit.
