I just don't know why they need it if I only meet one of the stipulations - not both.

I guess I'll be making a phone call in the morning :roll:
Your tax I.D. is NOT your Social Security number! If you have a business registered with the State and Federal Governments, your State will assign you an I.D. number for you to charge sales tax to your customers &/or avoid paying sales tax on the merchandise and supplies you purchase for the operation of your business.
