Retail License for the self employed

Hello ladies, I'm an Indiana resident. How in the world do I get my Tax Id number and subsequently my retail license? I am doing booth rent, so I am a sole proprietor, right?

Tax forms have always been overwhelming for me, and I can't even seem to find the right forms to fill out... Please educate me ^_^

I'm not in your state, so this is just general -

If you are a sole proprietor your # will be your SS#; if you have employees you'd need an FEIN # - you'd have to get this info via the IRS website.

If you're talking about retailing items:

you should google "indiana sales and use tax" or go to your state website and search thru there, should be a .gov

Thanks for the help ladies. This post is from 2013, and shortly after posting I was able to figure out what to do. I had a great time doing booth rent in Indiana, and now I'm gearing up to do the same thing in my new home state of Arizona!
