Not real sure what you are asking, however if your plan is to purchase at wholesale and sell at retail, you must apply for a tax ID# through the dept. of revenue in the state where you have your business. If you plan on incorporating, you will be issued an FEIN # from the federal government, otherwise your SS# is your fed tax ID. The tax ID # that you refer to would be for a person or company who sells a product that is taxable on the sales end yet exempts you from paying tax when you purchase the product.

There are several kinds of tax IDs. Which one is it?
If you mean a personal tax ID and you do not qualify for a social security number, you need form W-7 from the IRS. The form must be sent along with a tax return for it to be processed (if you are not filing a tax return or if you are not a dependent in somebody's return, you cannot get a number.) This number is called an ITIN (individual taxpayer identification number).
If you meant a business tax ID, the answer depends on what kind of business (corporation, sole proprietorship, etc) what kind of tax (sales tax, payroll tax, etc) and which state you do business in.

It's your social security number.
