state tax registration number
 

during Amazons tax interview they ask for State Tax Registration number, I imagine I cant use my real one since it was used in a suspended account, so how do I get a new one? a new DBA? or can you simply not input any tax info here at all? it says if you dont make a selection items will be categorized as "A_GEN_NOTAX", which means no state tax will be collected. is that an issue?
any experience? thank you

You would need to get a new company if you wanted to collect state taxes. Go to the IRS website, get a new EIN number and then register with your state, etc...same as you did for your old company.

Do you know if I need to close my existing company and open a new one or can I have two accounts/companies? Can I open a DBA under the existing company and still get a new Tax number? I think I can get a new EIN number with the DBA but not sure about the state tax number. I am asking my accountant now. he said ok to new EIN with a DBA..

You can own as many companies as you desire. Heck, Warren Buffet owns thousands. Donald Trump a year ago owned just under 400.

I would file for a new Company. Multi Member LLC or Scorp are my choices usually but that is between you and your accountant.

"filing for a new company", does that mean a new LLC/S corp or would a DBA do the same trick as far as getting a new EIN and state tax registration number as well? my accountant told me we could get a DBA and another S corp not needed.

A company can only have ONE EIN. If you want your company to open a sub company, it is the same exact process and the same exact amount of tax filings but gets funneld back through your original company,

A DBA is not a separate company and will not have a separate EIN.
