Best Answer

A federal tax ID number for an entity is 2 digits followed by a dash followed by seven more digits. (12-1234567). If the number is in that format, it is probably federal and may also be used as the state ID number, depending on the state. If still uncertain, call the company and ask them for their Federal ID #.

What taxpayer has federal employer identification number 76-0429250?

Why would you have a need to have this information. You cannot obtain this information as you probably know. The federal identification number is similar to a social security number for a business. It is therefore protected by privacy laws.


Would you be penalized if you filed federal taxes and not state taxes?

Yes, by the state. The states can still charge you penalties and interest on taxes owed. There is a direct communication link from the IRS and the states. You can also be charged criminally by the state and serve jail time for unfiled returns. If you file returns with the IRS and not the state your state will know and they will come after you with collections activity.


Do you send a copy of your federal tax return with your state tax return?

It depends on the state (we don't know what state you are in) and the complexity of your return. Some states require a copy of your federal return. Some states require a copy only if you have certain types of income or file certain forms. Some states do not require a copy at all. Check the instruction booklet that came with your state tax forms. It should tell you what you need to send. If you are filing your state return electronically you do not need to mail in a copy of your federal return. If you are mailing in your state return then yes a copy of your federal return must be attached.
