Do I need a tax id number to work with the dropshippers?
A few companies will not do business with you unless you have a Sales TAX ID which you can get at your local state tax office ( get the form here http://www.taxsites.com/state.html ). But that is not a big deal because it is easy to get one & it’s free. In most cases, the government will let you use your social security number as a tax id ( but you still need to submit the form).
