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 SD Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) SD State Employer Tax Number

✔ L L C

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 Other llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Home Business Gun Shop 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 Sioux Falls business name. Instead of filing a Lincoln County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in SD or form an SD LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..

Gun Shop: which registrations does a home-based gun shop in Sioux Falls, SD need?

Short answer: Gun Shop: for a home-based gun shop in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the core set is the Sales Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a business structure and name registration.

Buying and selling wholesale in South Dakota

In South Dakota, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales Tax License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. South Dakota taxes many services as well as goods, so service-heavy wholesalers should check what they sell. Firearms and accessories purchased from distributors for resale can be bought with a resale certificate, avoiding sales tax until the customer buys.

The paper trail for Sioux Falls, SD

LLC – suppliers and banks take an LLC more seriously than a name on a napkin
Fictitious Business Name (DBA) – lets the bank accept checks made out to your business name
Federal tax ID number (EIN) – wholesale suppliers and banks ask for it on credit and account applications
Sales Tax License – required before the first taxable sale, including online, flea market and craft fair sales
Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption – hand it to suppliers to buy inventory for resale without sales tax
Sioux Falls business license – renewed every year; inspectors may visit if you sell food or work with the public
Firearms dealer license
Home occupation permit

If you sell across state lines

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.
Pennsylvania: the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. Pennsylvania issues a separate wholesaler certificate to businesses that sell only for resale; any retail selling requires the sales tax license instead.
Nevada: the seller's permit. Nevada also has a Commerce Tax on businesses with large Nevada gross revenue, which can reach wholesalers.

Tip: Firearms dealing is heavily regulated; confirm local zoning allows it at home before ordering anything, and keep records immaculate.
