Hi Ope, online behavioral health work is mostly regulated by your professional license, not the business filings, so confirm that Georgia and the state where each patient lives allow you to practice there. On the business side, a professional LLC or corporation, a federal tax ID number and a home occupation permit are typical. Because you sell services, the sales tax number is normally unnecessary. We can file the entity.
Short answer: Georgia Marietta: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
The Georgia version of the seller's permit is the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form ST-5 Sales 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. Buyers using Form ST-5 generally need a Georgia sales tax number when registration applies to them. Georgia's ST-5 certificate covers resale and many other exemptions; the buyer marks the reason and lists its registration number. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.

Short answer: Get State Tax Id: Utah doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the Sales Tax License, backed by a Form TC-721 Exemption Certificate.
In Utah, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales Tax License. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form TC-721 Exemption Certificate. 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. Utah is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its TC-721 form covers resale purchases. Buying products you plan to sell online wholesale means showing a resale certificate to your suppliers, so the tax is collected later from the shopper instead of from you.
Tip: Check where your customers live; online sellers sometimes owe sales tax in states they have never visited, a surprise worse than a lost parcel.
