Is a seller's permit/resale license and EIN/Tax ID the same? These are not the same thing. A seller's permit/resale license is the same as a state tax ID, as both are issued by the state for sales tax purposes. An EIN or federal tax ID number, however, is issued by the federal government, not the state.
