I see theis question asked a lot on the forum when people are getting into business they want to get a "taxpayer ID" and A sellers permit.. Well you don't need a "Taxpayer Id' You already have one it is called you social securiy number. below is info from the IRS on the matter. I think most would qualify if they are here in The US. A sellers permit is something you shuold have so you can do business and be able to collect sales tax for the state.
"An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service. It is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a 7 or 8 in the fourth digit, example 9XX-7X-XXXX.
IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA)."
