A machine thrums steadily, pins glitter in a cushion and a bright bolt of cloth waits to become something wearable.
Short answer: KY Sales Tax Id: Kentucky doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the Sales and Use Tax Permit, backed by a Resale Certificate (Form 51A105).
In Kentucky, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales and Use Tax Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Resale Certificate (Form 51A105). 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. Kentucky is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state, so buyers may also use the uniform Streamlined certificate. Fabric and notions that become part of items you sell can be bought with a resale certificate, while needles, scissors and your machine remain taxable purchases.
Tip: Separate your alteration income from your finished-goods sales in your records, because the two can be taxed in different ways.

The owner shared: “I am a sewer, quilter and craft maker. I have been asked to make items for others.”
When people ask you to make items, you are in business, and in Auburn that means Alabama's sales tax license for items sold. Buying fabric wholesale tax-free needs the resale certificate showing your Alabama sales tax account number, and only fabric that becomes part of items you sell qualifies. Needles and thread you use up are taxed. Ask us about an LLC and EIN to keep custom work separate from you personally.
Short answer: For a sewing and quilting business in Auburn, 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.
The Alabama version of the seller's permit is the 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.
