Going legitimate online resale in Florida

[Beskar]

I have been reselling on eBay for a while now and I am starting to get connect with Walmart marketplace to sell and then want a legitimate business with a tax id number website etc.

I have the sales on eBay no problem there I’m doing well but on Walmart I can make a larger profit on some items and a larger market for some items but I need to get a tax I’d before I can continue on with my next step.

My question is I’m not sure what exactly what I need or where I need to go for proper paperwork Certificates license etc

Any information in the right directions is greatly appreciated or something I’m doing wrong please point them out

The Department of State usually handles the paperwork for starting a business. In Florida, it looks like that info can be found at:

yeah once you form your company you can then apply for your ein / tax id, company formation varies state to state you can use an accountant or a company like incfile to do it for you but basically here in MA you go to state secretary site, fill our formation form upload documents.. pay the fee then after you get the paper work you sent that to the irs.. then you'll receive a tax id between 2-14 weeks
