So here I was doing this application and almost gave up on it. But made a search on UA-cam and you are the only one with this tutorial from what I know. I live in California and will sell through Amazon FBA. So far got my EIN as sole proprietor and now applies for seller permit thanks to you. Hope this is all I need. lol
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Haha same here
How did you get your EIN
Great presentation! And thank you for adding enormous value in our life Alex. We believe in what you do!
I know it's kind of off topic but does anyone know a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Remy Elliot flixportal :P
@Robert Gerardo Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :D Appreciate it!!
@Remy Elliot happy to help xD
If you're a foreigner (non-US national) you will not be able to complete the application with just a LLC and an EIN number. As the manager/owner of your LLC, you will also have to enter a SSN or ITIN number. The SSN is off limit, but are able to apply for an ITIN number...
Very helpful information of walking someone new to applying for a sellers permit.
THANK YOU! I registered my business address as my home, but I put "building" is that okay tax vault? even though its a house address. everything is the same street address number and zip code
How would opeaning a buisneess affect your tax return when filing will you pay more or get a refund. As in if your buisness didnt make a lot
You get 3 years to claim no profit. So I don't think it will affect it at all. Now if you make enough money that can be tracked they will want a cut of the pie.
thanks for creating this video, it was a HUGE HELP,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS!! I HAVE A HUGE QUESTION: I completed my seller's permit but I need to make a change as to I need to report that i will be selling goods online and I will also be accepting cards. Can I go back to change it?
No problem 🤠. It is likely that they will approve your permit and it won’t make a big difference. I wouldn’t recommend going through the hassle of updating that specific info unless they ask you directly. The only really pertinent info that should always be updated is the effective nexus date, and any details around nexus triggering activities.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Hi Alex, I received a CA sellers permit the same day I applied. The start date I choose is 6 weeks from today. Can I use the sellers permit now to buy products?
Very useful video thank you! Question on the credit card processor part. I will be doing my online store through Shopify, from what I’m aware, they take care of all payments so in my case what would I put ?
Did u ever figure out what to put?
I am wondering this, myself.
i do NOT have a nexus in CA, but the drop shipping company DOES have a CA nexus and charges me taxes on those products. Do i charge the customers tax also? I have been, though I don't have a permit yet. Sales made to buyers in my state of CA are under 1k... I've been doing this since March but operating since December 2019 getting dialed in. We filed taxes last year and no issues and lost 6k in hard costs. Any issues I should be aware of other than an audit?
Hi there, you will find this blog post we wrote of great value: thetaxvalet.com/blog/where-should-dropshippers-get-sales-tax-permits/
If you have been collecting sales tax but not remitting it to the state of California, I would suggest you get a permit immediately to remit the tax. Failure to do so is considered tax fraud with potential for severe consequences.
Thanks, you made it easier and clear to understand
Thank you for walking through this. Very helpful!
Does the owner name appear on the sellers permit along with the business name?
What if I’m not sure as yet what my projected sales are? How do I go about filing in that part? & what if you don’t have an actual supplier as yet? 😩😩😩
Estimate the sales.
Thank you for this tutorial. I am about to submit my application. I noticed that on your Summary page it lists Name as "Permitted LLC". My summary page currently has my first and last name. I'm assuming this is because I applied as a Sole Proprietorship/Individual. Should the Name section state my name or the name of my business? I'm going to submit with my first and last name because it does not allow me to change it and I've gone through my application multiple times to verify but just curious if this is correct. (Heard other people mention the importance of protecting your personal information and address).
Thanks tremendously for sharing your knowledge. Starting a business has been a very new experience for me but I am excited and thankful for the help I receive from people like you! :)
Yes if you are applying as a sole proprietor it will be listed under your name. And no problem - good luck with your business.
What if you get an email saying “thank you for your request, your request is still being processed” but then on your email you got a copy of the sellers permit with the acc #?
Do we have to pay an additional fee after we sign up and it’s mailed to us ?
what if you don't know who you're going to be supplying from yet?
you can just google any suppliers and add if not you can't proceed with the application. hope that helps.

Hello, i want to start selling on amazon, and i dont have a supplier yet. i was going to get all the legal stuff done first. How does that work? should i find a supplier, start selling on amazon first then register for a seller permit latter?
My question exactly! Have you found an answer? Thanks
I have the same problem with you when I apply for a sellers permit. What should i put i there since i dont have a supplier yet. Pls reply . Appreciate it
Start selling first ! You gotta see if it works in the first place.
I registered my business and I don’t know when to get my “ California Secretary of State entry number “ what’s where am soo lost ?
Me too that part isn't clear in the video
When you registered your business your should have received a copy and in there it should have it. It should say "Entity (File) number" thats the same as "California Secretary of State entry number"
Leasa Hart it’s the number on the LLC form if you registered as a LLC
Is the “supplier” info for example Alibaba? Where we purchase the goods correct? Sorry all new to me just want to make sure I understand. I am truly grateful to have found your video. Been filling it out for about a week now just researching as I go. I am afraid to put something just because I do not understand so turtle speed is working right now but need to get it out the way. The questions for California is a bit overwhelming for new business owners.
Yes.
Thank you for your video! It`s great! I have a question about registration process. I`m not the US resident, but I have the US based company. The registration process requires SSN and driver`s license, I do not have them. What should I do and how can I open the resale permit?
Thanks.
I'm working on my sellers permit but under the questionnaire part I have a question! When it asks "Purchasing items from out of state for use in California without paying tax" what does that mean? My suppliers are from Alibaba (China) so would I need to check that box or no?
Great video! Does this help you purchase products tax free? Thanks!
Please I have two questions: 1) I'm a ceramic artist and I craft my own ceramic pieces to sell. What do I have to indicate as a "Supplier"? I don't have one, I create my own pieces to sell so what do I have to indicate in that section? 2) I plan to sell only online so If in the "Credit Cards" section I indicate NO to the question "Will the business be accepting credit card payments", can I add it in the future if I change my mind? Thanks for your help, a great and useful video!
Hello, these questions are not critical for the sales tax permit application in California. If you are not receiving credit card payments directly, then you should answer No. For your supplier, you can simply list where you purchase your materials. No need to overthink this.
Hi man! I am stuck on the page where they require the SSN or individual taxpayer ID for the member of the LLC. Since I am a non US citizen I can not provide any SSN or Taxpayer ID because in my country the taxpayer ID is longer, it is 10 digit. What should I do now?
This video was very helpful. Thank you
*How do i collect and remit the sales tax? How do I report this to the government or tax department?*
You will need to set-up tax collection within your point of sale system. Some platforms, such as Shopify and Amazon, have built-in tools to help you do this. We also help our clients set this up for them - learn more at thetaxvalet.com
I don't know yet what exact products I will be selling (I'm searching for goods to sell as Third Party Seller). I expect a list of products from totally different categories. Can I name just few of them in my application?
Great video, two questions. Why do you want to put your start date 6 weeks from the application date? And, would you also put in 6 weeks for the section that ask for “Seller’s Permit Start Date” as well?
This date is specific to your unique situation. Please consult your tax advisor (or us) for advice.

Thank you for this helpful info! If I'm an Etsy seller, working out of my home in California, does this mean I have nexus in California, and therefore would need to get a Sale Tax Permit?
In general, yes if you are operating out of California then you would need to get a sales tax permit. If you are looking for definitive guidance on where you owe sales tax, check out out sales tax consultation package: thetaxvalet.com/sales-tax-starter-kit/
Thank you this video is very helpful information in how to fill the ca permit. I'm not sure did wrong or right track for my permit. Just in a dought
How can I get one now that the government is closed? I cannot get a DBA going.
Also, do I need a seller's permit if I'm selling my own clothes on poshmark? Thanks
Can you do one for sole proprietorship
I was told that I need a state seller's permit and state tax registration. Are those the same thing? I already have my CA SOS and FEIN number as well.
Yes, those are the same thing. You can use your FEIN number on your sales tax permit registration.
It’s how to get a sales tax permit in California. Why would you skip the California Secretary of State entity number?
Not everyone who is required to get a sales tax permit is required to register with the Ca SOS. Registering with the CA SOS will put you on their radar for income tax, franchise tax, and other tax purposes.
I live in Arizona and have my sellers permit here but California doe not accept out of state re-sellers certificate would I register my AZLLC with California to get a re-sellers permit ti purchase wholesale and not be taxed their in California.
Is the Non-California issued entity number the same as a file number?
If I’m applying as a sole proprietor and my primary identification type if my individual taxpayer ID for FEIN and SEIN what do you I need to file? What do those mean I have my EIN from the IRS already
so you dont need a SEIN number? If you are located in california? what is a Sein Number?
Hello,
I accidentally left the confirmation page after I’ve submitted the application. I registered less than a day ago. I can’t go back to retrieve the confirmation number in order to track the registration status. Is there a way to recover the confirmation number? I was wondering if I will receive an e-mail confirming the registration from them in the near future, or I’ll have to contact them through their phone #?
Thank you.
jenrypao did you end up figuring it out?
how do you add a second location?
Thank you so much for this video... I have one question I want to open a online boutique/ clothing store.my question is if should I put the ein number or my social. I live in California and those are the only options that I get. I am filling as solo propiertship... please answer me ??
If you have an EIN, you should put that on the application. But generally if you are a sole proprietor you would use your SSN.
I've noticed this process asks for a lot of detailed questions such as what third party internet sale provider you are using, the supplier information. So basically, you need to already have a shop set up before you can apply for a seller's permit? Another question I have is my business is registered in California, but it is an online business - do I meet physical nexus? Or I only need to meet economic nexus?
If you are physically located in California or have another physical presence in California, then you would have sales tax nexus and need to get a sales tax permit. If you do not have a presence in California then you would need to consider the economic nexus thresholds. Put another way: If you have a physical presence but do not cross the economic nexus thresholds, you still need a permit. And yes, it is tricky to complete the supplier information if you do not yet have a supplier yet.
can someone help me figure out how to apply for a sein? cant find anything out there
What if I’m barely starting my business how would I fill that out ?
I want to get a sellers permit, I’m starting a online website selling clothing but I don’t know where to start
Hi. What if I sell online but don’t charge my customers sale tax? I am aware that I will be responsible it. I prefer to have my customers be “happy” paying the price listed. Of course, I charge a little more. Does that effect any selections when I apply for the permit?
Hi Reginda, states vary in if they "allow" retailers to do this. We generally recommend it is best to not include the sales tax in the price. The best thing here would be to contact the CA DOR for clarification.
I have private label products. Are those taxable?
@@regindaphlong6941 Yes of course. The only reason why they wouldn't be taxable is if you are selling to tax-exempt entities (ex. govts), you are selling to a reseller (and you have a resale certificate on file), or the product is not taxable in a particular state (ex. medical devices).
Hi i am in CA and I am starting an Amazon fba business. Is it critical to have the correct NAICS code? I think the correct one for Amazon fba is 454110 but not sure.
Thank you.
If I am purchasing material/equipment for the federal government how does that work? The federal govt. is all tax exempt, so where do I have to pay taxes, or do you not have to?
Hi Wade, states are prohibited from taxing direct sales to the federal government under the principle of federal sovereignty and the supremacy clause of the US constitution. Some states specifically include an exemption for sales to the federal government. Others simply exempt sales that they are prohibited from taxing under the US constitution. No exemption certificates are typically required for federal government sales. However, for sales to the federal government, evidence of the sales must be retained in order to claim the exemption. Some states will exempt sales only substantiated by a government purchase order. Others will permit an exemption for sales paid with a federal government credit card. You must pay SPECIAL ATTENTION to who YOUR customer is. If your customer is a government contractor, the exemption usually does NOT apply. If you make sales to any taxable authorities and you have nexus, you would still need to get a sales tax permit and file sales tax returns. Your government sales would simply be listed as exempt.

Thanks for the step by step demonstration! Questions about the temporary permit... Does the CA application process let you apply for the temporary and permanent permit with the same application, or would I have to fill out the application twice?
You would likely need to complete it twice as they are two separate permits.
@@alexoxfordcmi3114 good to know. Thanks for the quick response
Thanks for this video it was super helpful! however I have a couple of questions, if I get the sellers permit but only use to buy supplies but never resell anything yet due to my store not being ready to open, I am I still required to pay a fee for having the permit? Also for the portion where it askes for the supplier information, it asked me for their CDTFA number. I don’t have a supplier yet, so what information do I put in the box? It won’t let me click ahead. Hope those aren’t silly questions. Thanks!
Hi there - no silly questions when it comes to sales tax. Yes, you will still need to pay the permit fee even if you are not ready to sell yet. But more importantly, you are required to file sales tax returns once your permit is open even if you aren't making any taxable sales. If you don't have a supplier yet and the CDTFA # is mandatory, I would just put something that is obviously wrong like "11111111111" - if the state has issue with it they will contact you and you can explain the situation.
@@alexoxfordcmi3114 following this same question, However, would it be smart to just wait until I have a supplier in mind before submitting permit app? But then again I’d be setting back my operating date due to 6 weeks to get permit back and however long it takes inventory to ship… ??
@@lennieholmes9827 I would be careful of not registering for a permit until you either (1) have taxable sales or (2) need to have a resale certificate for your purchase. Otherwise, you are signing yourself up for ongoing compliance and reporting obligations (which is not my idea of a good time). Hope this helps? :) ...
@@alexoxfordcmi3114 Thank you Alex for your response, definitely helpful. I will take your advice and definitely keep researching. I appreciate you taking the time out to help…truly!!
So getting this Permit is free, right?
Yes, the permit is free in California.
I had LLC from delaware state.
Can you tell me ? How can I get resale certificate?
I will buy on amazon .
Do I need to qualify foreign business in CA first to apply for sales tax permit?
You are AMAZING! Thank you!
Thank you this was so helpful, I have one question I am barely starting an online boutique and I don't know what to put for the monthly projected sales/ taxable sales since haven't started anything yet. Should I just take a guess or put yes on anticipated zero sales? hope to hear from you, Thank you
I would suggest you be conservative with your estimated sales number as this will resulted in a lower filing frequency (for example, you would only need to submit a sales tax return annually instead of monthly).
So if I opt for a “temporary” sellers permit will I still get a regular permit in the mail??
No, a temporary permit is for limited-time event (like a garage sale).
Thank you for your help.
Thank you so much for making this video. It's perfect for walking us newbies through the process. I have a question about the account information. I just signed up with a wholesale company. They are waiting on my seller's permit to approve the application. So I am trying to fill it out so I can send them a copy of the seller's permit. I haven't started ordering or selling anything from them yet. So I don't know what to fill in when it asks what my projected sales are going to be, and what are the monthly taxable sales. What am I supposed to put in there, if I really don't have a clue what I will be making?
Hi there, to be honest I wouldn't get a permit until you start making sales as it will just create a compliance burden you'll need to keep up with. You can always estimate your sales, but I would recommend you are conservative so they don't bump you into a high filing frequency.
@@alexoxfordcmi3114 ok. I actually had a seller's permit for my jewelry business that I had. I still have that business but I don't sell much so I let the permit go. It was cancelled a couple of years ago. When I called the BOE the girl told me to just go on the website and reapply. But it seems like its getting a bit more tricky now.
How did you go about putting in your sales projections?
@@alexoxfordcmi3114 How is it possible to start making sales when it requires a sellers permit to dropship with the dropship suppliers? Which will mean me selling and shipping physical product myself.
@@neynuevo211 I am not sure I understand your question. You will want a CA permit so that you can purchase inventory from your drop shipper tax-free. After that, you'll need to begin collecting/remitting sales tax on your sales to California.
Hi Alex,
Thank you for the informative video. I have a question. If you didn't obtain a seller's permit before but sold online in CA past two years, do you need to apply for voluntary disclosure program? I checked FTB's website and it says "You do not qualify if you have":
+ registered with the Secretary of State
+ ever filed a return in California
+ received a notice to file a return in California
As far as I understood, you are not qualified if you ever file Form 3522. In that case, what you can do? Should you choose the date you started to sell or the date 6 weeks from now when you entering start date?
Hi Adem this is something you'd need to be our client for in order for us to provide you advice on. Learn more at thetaxvalet.com/
how I can get a resales permit? thank for the video
chuy3412 I believe this is it. You can do temporary for 90 days or for life I guess lol
Where do I get a merchant processor/account?
Thank you so much for this. I have a question in regards to my supplier. I don't have one as of yet because I'm just getting started. Do I put a supplier that I plan to use?
Yes, putting your intended supplier would be fine. But I would reconsider applying for your sales tax permit until you are closer to making taxable sales. Otherwise, you will need to submit sales tax returns even though you don't have any revenue. This is burdensome and unnecessary.
thanks for your video. what if the seller's permit location varies from one location in the city to another each month ? knowing that permit is not valid at any other address than the one listed initially on it, how do I manage the different locations>?
This sounds like a unique circumstance. Is this for a food truck or something similar? What state will you be based out of?
I paused this video half way and finished the forms. Unfortunately, I then watched the rest of the video and saw that putting a date that has already passed was not recommended. Is there any way to resubmit an application? Or do I only get one try? Thanks!
If you use a date in the past you will simply need to file the past-due returns. If you put an incorrect date, you can contact the CDTFA directly to update.
So is it possible to land in hot water if you set your permit date too soon if it isn’t a temporary seller permit but a normal sellers permit?
It depends on your definition of "hot water". Just be aware that as soon as you register you will begin having a filing responsibility, even if you owe $0 and haven't been making sales yet. That is probably the "worst" that can happy by registering early.
Thank you for your video! How do you pick a number for your projected monthly sales? Also if your items are being sold on Marketplace Facilitators such as Amazon or Etsy what do you put for projected monthly taxable sales? Thank you in advance!
You will need to make a reasonable estimate of what your estimated sales will be, specifically within the state of California. I know that is vague, but no one can predict that number better than you.
@@taxvalet2394 Thank You!
Great video, i do have a question about if i need sellers permit in CA. I live there and just started my business selling on amazon, etsy, redbubble and society6..which are considered marketplace facilitators. I dont have a website of my own so not collecting sales tax or credit card payments. Since i work exclusively with the above mentioned marketplaces do i still need a sellers permit? What about the sales tax VAT and GST on items that are sold by these marketplaces in EU, Asia and Australia..do i need to remit sales tax there as well?
You may decide to get a resellers certificate so that you can avoid paying taxes on your suppliers. This would be the most common reason why marketplace-only sellers register for sales tax permits (so they can acquire the appropriate state exemption certificates). Some states want you to register and file even if all of your sales are on marketplaces. But you should consider the risk/reward of filing since you should have a liability of $0 on all marketplace facilitator states.
Is there a way to get it for free or no?
does corporate housing company need a sales permit?
I am in Florida but can someone please explain this to me on my sellers permit application? I am starting an online boutique.
You wish to electronically file and pay taxes, fees and surcharges resulting from this registration, if an electronic option exists. Each will have the same filing and paying contacts, banking information and method of payment.
I was asked to answer this Yes or No. ^^
How do you close the California sales account?
I keep getting stumped at the supplier question. I don’t currently have a supplier that i buy in mass quantities but i have gotten a few supplies from stores like Michael’s. Could i just use them as my suppliers when applying for a permit?
It is not a terribly important question that I would get tripped up on.
what is an FEIN AND HOW DO I GET ONE? 😭
FEIN is a Federal Employer Identification Number. You get this through the IRS website. Basically it’s a social security number for your business
Hi, is this for a wholesale license?
I started selling in Oct but used date of Dec for Resellers Permit. Should I amend the date to Oct? I am questionable if Amazon may send them info prior to Dec.
The date you use is ultimately up to you. But if you started making taxable sales in October then you should have listed October as your permit start date.
So what if we’re selling more than one type of item (beauty products/apparel)? Or decide to add something else later on. Can we continue to use the same permit? & what if our vendor changes from the one listed?
Thank you for this video!
Hi there - yes, as long as all of the sales are under the same company EIN, you should not need a separate permit. But please be aware that a separate permit might be needed if you begin selling certain restricted products like tobacco or alcohol. If your vendor changes from the one listed, I would not be overly concerned. This information seems to only be relevant during the permit registration process. Hope this helps!
TaxValet awesome! Thank you so much for the response :)
Thank you so much!!!
cani request temp and later regular one?
Hello thank you for the video. I am confused I will sell on Amazon. I need a reseller permit to be excepted of taxes on Alibaba. I live in California. When I searched for the reseller permit in California. It says that I need a PERMIT to have a reseller permit. Is it true? please advise.
There are some states that require an in-state registration in order to attain that state's exemption certificate. In order to have a California resale certificate, you must register for a sales tax permit in California. You can read more on this blog post: thetaxvalet.com/blog/how-to-get-a-resale-certificate-in-each-state/
Hello, I had a quick concern - I’m getting a LLC to start a wholesale business on Amazon in which I’m a amazon wholeseller, I’m attempting to submit my application but I get confused on the supplier part i don’t have a supplier yet. The Amazon wholesale business model is to establish wholesale accounts with others after the LLC and seller permit has been acquired so what should I put down? Thanks for the help.
I have the same problem right now can you help me
So getting the permit is free?
Yes, the permit is free in California.
So, if your permit is under "approved seller's permits" in "check your registration status", you're good right?
Yes but you should have received a letter in the mail (or should be soon) with the information needed to create an online account.
I had LLC.
Now cancel LLC and made private ownership.
Tax ID remain same.
Do I need to get new seller permit or how can change my LLC seller permit to private seller permit.
You should start by contacting the California CDTFA. Some state smake you cancel and re-create your permit, others can update it within their system.
If I sell my services (web design and seo) to California residents and live in California, along with having one employee but no building just remote work do I need a sellers permit?
Generally yes. Though you might want to double-check on the taxability of your products/services in California as exemptions might apply.
Hello taxbutler, i have a question, my store will be accepting credit card payments, but my problem is that i dont have a merchant card processor accnt set up can i just set it as like i am not accepting credit cards and may i change it later on?
If a third party is accepting credit cards (Ex. Shopify) what we've done is just listed them as the processor. In the past, this hasn't been something that CA has rejected a permit application for. I do not know of a way to add it afterwards.
Thank you so much. I was going to pay someone to do this. Smh.
Hey Alex,
Do I have to be a resident of the state I apply for my resellers permit in? Is it impossible to get an EIN number and resellers permit when someone owe taxes ? (Louisiana) can your company help with this?
Hi there, no you do not need to be a resident in the state you are applying for a resellers permit in. I am not sure I understand the second part of the question. An EIN is assigned by the IRS. And a Reseller permits can be assigned to entities that owe taxes.
Hi I’m planning to make credit card sales and internet sales online through Shopify, will I need to make that account first before applying to get a sellers permit?
Did you ever find out if you needed to make an account first? I'm in the exact same boat. I plan to make credit card sales and internet sales through Shopify but I don't have a Shopify yet. Also what would be the merchant processor name and account?
Hi, I am so confused. I am just starting an E-Commerce business so I don't have a website yet. When I apply to suppliers they are asking me for my retail Certificate. Who do I get the retail certificate if I don't have a website yet?
A website is not a pre-requisite to applying for a sales tax permit in California. I would encourage you to pay tax on your inventory from your supplier until you have proven out your business model. You can get a permit later to purchase inventory tax-free after you know you have a solid business. If your supplier requires the certificate regardless of if you pay tax on inventory, then this might just be a rule the supplier has and you are stuck getting a permit.
@@taxvalet2394 Same problem with me but I have bought couple things from Alibaba. Will that supplier name work even though its not in the USA ? HELPPP!
@@chelabtron5233 You will need to follow-up with Alibaba on their process requirements.

How to voluntarily disclose past sales and make tax payment?
Hello Danish, I believe you are referring to a Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDA). Some states require that you apply for the VDA before you apply for a sales tax permit. The VDA process is complex and usually requires a third-party to submit the documents on your behalf. We can help you with this as part of our Done-for-You Sales Tax Service. You can learn more here: thetaxvalet.com/done-for-you-service/
Is this "sales tax permit" the same as a "resale certificate" in CA? Thank you
In California, you need to get a sales tax permit in order to attain a resale certificate that is valid. You can download your resale certificate from within the CDTFA portal after you have regsitered for a sales tax permit.
What if you don't have a address because you want to do drop shipping
Did you ever find out
what if you dont have a supplier? i will be buying thing wholesale and selling them online.
but you need a seller permit to buy wholesale right?
