Hi, bgappleton!

I just moved your question to this topic area out of Small Business, in the hopes that it will get noticed more by our Tax Experts.

I do note that you've already received one helpful answer already.

Thanks!

Most states require that you have a separate tax ID number with the state.

A phone call to your state's tax office should put you on track to getting one. Many will issue you a state tax ID number over the phone.
