Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID. I.e., a AL Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) AL State Employer Tax Number

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Hayden, Incorporate in AL or form a(n) AL LLC .

If you will set up a corporation or form an LLC, you will not have to file a DBA (Doing Business As) unless your corproration or LLC name will be different that the busienss name you will trade under. Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Retail Home llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), it will help you avoid legal and financial personal liability arising out of business transactions and you will not have to register the Hayden business name. Instead of filing a Blount County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in AL or form an AL LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..

Which registrations does a durable medical equipment supplier in Hayden, AL need?

Wheelchairs lined up for delivery, a walker being adjusted, and a patient relieved at a smoother ride.

Short answer: For a durable medical equipment supplier in Hayden, Alabama, the essentials are the sales tax license, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.

Buying and selling wholesale in Alabama

In Alabama, the seller's permit goes by the name sales tax license. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is an Alabama resale certificate. Wholesalers making no retail sales may get a state sales tax certificate of exemption (Form STE-1) instead of a sales tax license. Many Alabama cities and counties levy their own sales taxes, some administered locally, so local registration can be needed too. Equipment bought from manufacturers for sale or rental to patients is often purchased with a resale certificate, though medical-specific exemptions vary by state.

What a durable medical equipment supplier needs in Hayden, AL

LLC – protects personal assets if a customer or supplier dispute turns into a lawsuit
Trade Name (assumed name) – lets the bank accept checks made out to your business name
Federal tax ID number (EIN) – needed for your 1 employee and payroll reports
Sales tax license – collect and report sales tax on retail sales
Alabama resale certificate – keep a copy on file for every supplier you buy from tax-free
State employer ID – for state income tax withholding and unemployment insurance
Hayden business license – renewed every year; inspectors may visit if you sell food or work with the public
Medical equipment supplier license
Supplier accreditation where required

How other states name the wholesale permit

Arizona: the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license. Arizona's TPT is a tax on the seller's privilege of doing business, not a tax on the buyer.
Nevada: the seller's permit. Nevada also has a Commerce Tax on businesses with large Nevada gross revenue, which can reach wholesalers.
Michigan: the Sales Tax License. Michigan wholesalers buying tax-free should give suppliers a written statement that they are purchasing for resale at wholesale.

Tip: Keep delivery and fitting records for each customer. A paper trail is easier on everyone than a long phone call.

Industry code: NAICS 446199 (All Other Health and Personal Care Stores)
