I'm in Iowa and I have my own business out of my home. I have a tax number didn't cost me anything just paper work and I have a business name that I just called mine Patchwork by Rhonda. I didn't have to file anything for that. When I sold my stuff at a craft show I didn't have my tax number yet and I just used my social security number instead, that is what the IRS told me to do.
Maybe your state has differant rules tho I don't know.
