Etsy Tax ID
Question: When do I have to file for a tax ID number? I’m selling hand-woven socks on Etsy and possibly expanding into other crafts?
Answer: Generally speaking, you will use your Social Security number as your Tax ID number if your business is not a corporation, partnership, and you don’t have employees. This IRS link will help you determine if you need an EIN:
