Hi David, an EIN is a straightforward federal filing, and for a home retailer, it keeps your Social Security number off forms. Oklahoma also expects the Sales Tax Permit for retail sales. Suppliers will accept the buyer's Oklahoma sales tax permit plus a signed resale statement. Selling to all 50 states may create tax duties elsewhere once you pass their thresholds.
Short answer: In Norman, Oklahoma, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For an online household goods store, that means the Sales Tax Permit, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
In Oklahoma, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales Tax Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a the buyer's Oklahoma sales tax permit plus a signed resale statement. 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. Oklahoma sellers generally keep a copy of the buyer's sales tax permit to support a sale for resale.

Tonja asked: “I will sell ladies garments on eBay, online.”
Hi Tonja, Selling women's garments online from Virginia calls for the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, which lets you collect tax on taxable sales and buy inventory tax-free. Present the Form ST-10 Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption and your permit number to each supplier. Marketplace sites sometimes collect tax for you, but you should still register and keep records, since your business is the seller.
Short answer: For an online women's clothing business in King George, Virginia, the essentials are the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
Virginia calls its seller's permit the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form ST-10 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. In-state buyers using Form ST-10 generally need a Virginia registration; out-of-state buyers can cite their home-state number. Out-of-state buyers do not need a Virginia registration to give a valid Virginia resale certificate.
