Re: State Tax ID # is ...? I live in Alabama. We have a state sales tax number that I pay my state sales tax to, and my county and city taxes are reported to a company that collects for the counties and cities, a different ID #. When a supplier or legal entity asks me for a Tax ID #, they either want your social sceurity # or Federal ID #, or my sales tax number. Most tee shirt suppliers want your sales tax number or tax ID #, which is the same thing, at least for me here in Alabama since 1976.
If this is confusing, I'm a confusing fellow. The company that collects taxes for the cities and counties was started with some people finding a need and filling it, The state would collect local taxes and take their time paying to the locals. This company apparently charges a fee, then remits the local tax collections in a more timely matter.
Thank you.
