Do I need a Tax ID to work with a dropshipper?
Yes of course! Legitimate wholesale suppliers will require a business tax ID in order to sell wholesale to you. This makes the products non-taxable to you, but you can tax your customers. Getting a tax ID isn’t hard, it’s actually quite easy. For US retailers, please go here; http://www.worldwidebrands.com/wwb/rc_detail2.asp?affid=64&catid=60 and select your state. This will take you to a State Government page on how to register a business and/or get a tax ID.
