Best Answer

There are several types of tax ID. EIN is the employer identification number needed in order to withhold and pay taxes for employees. You do not need an EIN if you do not have employees. Even if you incorporate you can use your own Social Security Number for the corporations tax id required to open a bank account.

If your business requires you to charge sales tax then a Sales tax ID may be required before you can get a city or county license in some states. Other states are less rigid. Most states will issue a Sales Tax certificate with your ID number on it by online registration.
