Every state has their own way of getting money from you. :-) Here in NC it's call a Business License.

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. > > William R.

As I wrote before, anyone can purchase a business license if they WANT to, but, at least for an S-Corp, it is not required - perhaps because it IS required to have Federal and State TIN's > > William R.

When I applied for it, way back in the beginning of time, the state assigned me a Seller's Permit Number, which is my identification number for filing my state _sales_ tax returns. It is separate from my federal EIN, which identifies me for filing of both state and federal _income_ tax returns. > > Mike > > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
