This guide is designed to help you gather the right information, find the applicable forms, and apply for a sales tax permit wherever needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Process to Register for a Permit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In most states, you will follow very similar steps to register for a sales tax permit. You&#8217;ll need your Employee Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, as well as your primary place of business, business type, and other relevant business information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, you will need to find the applicable web applications or forms for each state in which you do business that collects sales tax on out-of-state sellers. This does not yet apply to all states, so be sure to research thoroughly (and read our post here to see an updated list of current nexus laws) for where you need to follow these steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also note that this process can be simplified, and some of the costs avoided, if you register using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accuratetax.com\/streamlined-sales-tax\/\">Streamlined Sales Tax<\/a> (SST) program in participating states. As a Certified Service Provider, we offer no-charge registrations through SST in most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help with the process, we&#8217;ve outlined below each of the 46 states and districts that collect sales tax, along with their Department of Revenue website and the relevant forms and links you&#8217;ll need to register. If you&#8217;re unsure which states require you to register, read more about the current requirements here, or contact us to discuss your options.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"footable_parent_8348\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui \">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_0\" data-footable_id=\"8348\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"Registration by State\"            id=\"footable_8348\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_478761263_8348\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_8348 ninja_table_unique_id_478761263_8348 ui table  nt_type_legacy_table selectable striped vertical_centered  footable-paging-right ninja_table_search_disabled ninja_table_pro\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 xs\">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_2 xs\">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_3 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n        <thead>\n<tr class=\"footable-header\">\n                                                                        <th scope=\"col\"  class=\"ninja_column_0 ninja_clmn_nm_state \">State<\/th><th scope=\"col\"  class=\"ninja_column_1 ninja_clmn_nm_online_registration xs\">Online Registration<\/th><th scope=\"col\"  class=\"ninja_column_2 ninja_clmn_nm_paper_forms xs\">Paper Forms, if available<\/th><th scope=\"col\"  class=\"ninja_column_3 ninja_clmn_nm_cost \">Cost<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n\n        <tr data-row_id=\"177\" class=\"ninja_table_row_0 nt_row_id_177\">\n            <td>Alabama<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/myalabamataxes.alabama.gov\/_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Alabama Taxes<\/a><\/td><td>Online Only<\/td><td>$0 <\/td>        <\/tr>\n            <tr data-row_id=\"178\" class=\"ninja_table_row_1 nt_row_id_178\">\n            <td>Arizona<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aztaxes.gov\/Home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AZ Taxes<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/azdor.gov\/forms\/tpt-forms\/joint-tax-application-tpt-license\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JT-1<\/a><\/td><td>$12 per location.
