You need to be more specific for a precise answer. If you are filing a state income tax return, your SSN is your tax ID number. Anyone required to collect sales tax must get a sales tax permit from the state and will be issued a sales tax ID. Employers are usually issued an Employer ID number by the state, although some may use the Federal EIN.
