Resale certificate by state
Find the official resale and sales-tax resources for your state.
An EIN is federal. The IRS issues it once and it stays the same no matter which state you sell into.
Resale documentation and sales tax registration are handled mostly by your state. Each state runs its own program, uses its own form, and sets its own rules for who has to register.
Blueprint explains the idea here, in plain English. Your state gives you the current rules and the actual form. Read the full breakdown of an EIN vs a resale certificate.
COMMON MISTAKEAn EIN and a resale certificate are not the same thing. Having a federal tax ID does not mean a supplier will skip sales tax on your order.
