I need to get a resale or tax id # for my business, where do I go in Southern Calif. for this?

Question

I need this license to buy materials wholesale.

Answer 1

I got this somewhere. Hopefully it can help you:

You may obtain a seller’s permit application from our Internet site or our Information Center (see phone number on reverse). Our Information Center can fax the application to you within 24 hours or put it in the mail by the second business day following your call. Please be sure to fully complete the application, sign it, and mail it to us along with copies of any requested documents. Or if you prefer, you can apply in person at any of our field offices.

You will need to provide information about your business, including bank account details and estimated income. You must also provide information about yourself and copies of your driver ’s license and Social Security card (or substitute documents, as explained on the application).
If you purchased your business, you’ll need to provide the previous owner’s name and seller’s permit number. To make sure that you won’t have to pay any sales or use tax owed by the previous owner, you should request a tax clearance from us before you buy.
There is no charge for a seller’s permit. However, depending on your type of business and expected taxable sales, we may ask you for a security deposit.
If you apply by mail, you’ll usually get your permit within 7 to 14 days. If you apply in person, the field office may be able to issue your permit the same day


You can call them at: 800-400-7115
