A- Sales tax ID number
A sales tax ID (commonly referred to as the Sales and Use Tax Permit or Seller's Permit) is a number provided by the state tax authority upon registering to collect taxes in-state (as opposed to EIN/SSN/ITIN which are issued at the federal level).
The format of sales tax ID numbers vary by state, and in a small number of states the sales tax ID issued by the state authorities will be the same as your federal EIN.
Examples of Sales tax ID numbers, by state, can be found here.
