Do I need to apply for a tax ID number? if so, how do I go about doing that? and also I want to sale things in my shop besides my services? How do I get a resale license?

Answer 1

Search "<your state> Department of Revenue"

There is probably a section for "New business registration" along with an introduction or how to, etc. Most likely they are very friendly about if even if you contact them by telephone...

You will also need a Federal Tax ID.
