thank you sir! super helpful - the online form no longer shows a visual version of the physical copy, they just made it in a way where you populate fields, and I guess their system processes it for you.
yes for some reason he doesn't go through the actual website layout to fill it out, he uses a fillable PDF form of some sort. but the information is all the same just the layout is different. i did mine and just got approved
Thank you for your video! Can you explain a bit better how can i file for resales certificate if i dont have ssn and visa. I own an LLC single member and i am a resident in europe. Thank you!
The link shown doesn't seem to work and the application is a different application that is requesting Florida Current Sales and Use Tax Number for the location and the current business partner number.
I opened a LLC last year but I have not applied for this resale tax certificate. Should I click on "New taxable activity" or "New registration". Thanks.
Hello! Great Video! I have a question. Can I file for several resale tax certificates for different people through one account? Or do I have to make a new account for each persons tax certifictate?
thank you very much. very very much needed! im opening a car repairshop and would have love some more informatio on what to do or not but i loved the general information.
For those who are encountering "Login Failure: Your Certificate Number or Business Partner Number is incorrect." issue when logging in, give them another 24 hours and it will work. Make sure you remove all dashes before pasting the numbers into the login fields as well.
Do I need a resale certificate if I’m buying from Costco with my LLC but I’m just shipping the product overseas and I would just get paid on the percentage of the load. I’m not selling anything and I’m using there money to buy. I’m just storing and shipping the product
"Hi James, I wanted to thank you for the informative video. I have a question regarding my retail/online/wholesale arbitrage business that operates through Amazon FBA. We set up an S-Corp for this purpose, and I am now registering the company with a major supplier. They have requested a sales tax exemption certificate from me. Do I need to follow all the steps mentioned in your video to obtain this certificate?"
I just completed my application following the instructions in the video, but nowhere in the online application did it ask for my EIN number. Is this normal?
Question. I have an Airconditionng installation and repair company in Florida. It’s an LLC S Corp with two 10% owners. We pay sales tax at the counter when buying parts and equipment and don’t charge our customers sales tax. I’m wanting to add appliance sales to my business and I’m not sure how to proceed, I feel like would be required to charge sales tax on the appliance sales. So confusing. Any help is appreciated.
Do you offer this as a service because I sure could use your help. I manage a vacation rental in Sarasota and the city is asking that I get a Florida sales tax number.
Thanks for the video. What if you buy the products exempt but don't sell in florida or this kind stuff. I mean, let's imagine you go to retailer and buy products with Sales Tax exemption, do the retailer declare this to State?
Thank you for video, but I think you need to update your video and use actual online application, as it looks like you assume some of options based on paper application and giving wrong info, online application is more strict as you have to enter required fields. Firstly, reason for applying "New taxable activity" should be used only if business was already registered previously, if you select this option online it will ask you for required "Florida Business Partner Number" & "Current Sales and Use Tax Number" for first time registration you should select "New registration". Secondly, If business type selected is "LLC - Single member - Disregarded" then it is required to use SSN
Great video. I am just starting my own business in Florida. I just want to confirm. Even though I do have an SSN, you suggest putting all 1's in the box. Correct
For the legal business name part. I am currently doing my business under my llc, so for doing business as do i put my dba name and legal business name put my llc name???
I'm confused about the sales and use tax in the purchases section for ecommerce. Since i'm a middle man between a supplier, i'm not sure if I would check off the top box that says "purchase items to use in my business without paying Florida sales tax to the seller at the time of purchase"
"As a reseller, the sales tax certificate would be provided to your dealer at time of purchase to make the supply purchase tax exempt. The sales tax certificate is documentation between yourself and the dealer that your purchase is intended for resale and thus tax exempt. Tax collected from your customers at time of resale would then be remitted to the Department under the sales tax certificate. Therefore, 'Purchase items to use in my business without paying Florida sales tax to the seller at the time of purchase' would grant your business the ability to make the necessary purchases for resale. " The reply I received from the DOR :) I thought it meant items for general use in my business so I found it confusing. I hope this helps someone!
Also in the end you said we could be liable for tax on our items. So if I pay tax on lets say all the t shirts I buy and prints I buy, does that mean I don't have to charge sales tax when I sell it? Or do I still need to charge sales tax and report it on all the things I sell?
Hello. Thanks for the video. If I have my LLC in Delaware can I still do this same process and get the Resale Certificate from Florida? Do I have to do anything with my LLC like listing it in Florida or similar? Tks.
Under payment contact, it asks what is the contacts relationship to company. Options are company employee, non-related tax preparer, or payroll agent... what do i choose if Im the owner?
This form looks nothing like what is shown here (followed same links) and if you select LLC (which many will do) it forces you to chose either S-Corp or C-Corp. Deferring will force you to use SSN or Visa number.
Bro I have filled the DR1 form and sent it to the email you have given as account creation. An automatic replay came up telling me not to email them my important documents, Social Security Number, EIN or any other personal documents. If I fill the DR1 form and attach my passport and send it to the email you mentioned in this video, will it work or do I have to submit it online separately? Which you have shown in this video. (I don't have SSN or Visa)
I stumbled upon your video because I need a resale certificate in order to purchase from wholesalers for my store. I'm assuming you still need to file quarterly even if you're selling through amazon or ebay and just need the certificate for the wholesale stores?
I want to sell on my website and I also do events where im a vendor and sell my products, would this be all I need in order to do that? I've heard of a sellers permit but I am confused if this falls into that category and covers me or is it something totally seperate?
I need my business partner number to get past the first section, but I haven’t received one even though I have all my certificates and have my llc. Can anyone help?
Thank you Dr. Baker! Very insightful. This information is gold.
Thank you! This is among the BEST explanations I've see by far.
Thanks!
How about if a person living in Florida wants to sell all over the US; is having just a Florida resale certificate sufficient?
I want to know this too
Yes, I'd like to know this also
Did you find any Information?
Hello, I have question...
If I want to open an online business "store" to sale product, Do I need the LLC to get a resale certificate?
thank you sir! super helpful - the online form no longer shows a visual version of the physical copy, they just made it in a way where you populate fields, and I guess their system processes it for you.
James, you are doing the Lord's work with these videos. THANK YOU
When I clicked on START A NEW APPLICATION, I did not find any DRI FORM ONLINE. I had to fill different pages online. Is there any difference?
yes for some reason he doesn't go through the actual website layout to fill it out, he uses a fillable PDF form of some sort. but the information is all the same just the layout is different. i did mine and just got approved
Thank you kind sir.
Thank you for your video! Can you explain a bit better how can i file for resales certificate if i dont have ssn and visa. I own an LLC single member and i am a resident in europe. Thank you!
I’m filling out the application and letting your video guide me. Everything you are showing is not at all what is on my screen.
Please let me know if you find a more updated vid Im having the same problem
It's because I was doing the paper application. They may have changed the format
The link shown doesn't seem to work and the application is a different application that is requesting Florida Current Sales and Use Tax Number for the location and the current business partner number.
Thanks for letting me know. The questions should still basically be the same
I opened a LLC last year but I have not applied for this resale tax certificate. Should I click on "New taxable activity" or "New registration". Thanks.

"Hi James, I wanted to thank you for the informative video. I have a question regarding my retail/online/wholesale arbitrage business that operates through Amazon FBA.

What a Legend! Thank you James.
Hi. Do you need to close the certificate if you close the LLC? If necessary, how to do it?
I just completed my application following the instructions in the video, but nowhere in the online application did it ask for my EIN number. Is this normal?

Thank you, this is very informative.
Which differences it makes if i have a llc from a state which doesnt take sales taxes like Montana for example?
Do you offer this as a service because I sure could use your help. I manage a vacation rental in Sarasota and the city is asking that I get a Florida sales tax number.
Hi James, thanks for this video so If I sell onF Amazon, I don't need to have a lorida tax certificate ?
Thanks for the video. What if you buy the products exempt but don't sell in florida or this kind stuff. I mean, let's imagine you go to retailer and buy products with Sales Tax exemption, do the retailer declare this to State?
Thank you. Do you have any video on to get a resale certificate for Wyoming LLC? I already have buisness license
Thank you very much for the information! Does Amazon seller living in Florida need to pay local tax? Thank you!
Thank you for video, but I think you need to update your video and use actual online application, as it looks like you assume some of options based on paper application and giving wrong info, online application is more strict as you have to enter required fields. Firstly, reason for applying "New taxable activity" should be used only if business was already registered previously, if you select this option online it will ask you for required "Florida Business Partner Number" & "Current Sales and Use Tax Number" for first time registration you should select "New registration".

Well we went over the paper application.
I'll have to do this with my team
Great video. I am just starting my own business in Florida. I just want to confirm. Even though I do have an SSN, you suggest putting all 1's in the box. Correct
No. Use your SSN. All 1s is for people without a SSN or visa number
For the legal business name part. I am currently doing my business under my llc, so for doing business as do i put my dba name and legal business name put my llc name???
Thanks for the information, will file this asap, how long does it generally take to get your certificate?
Thank you 🧠🤙
James, necesitamos este video en español por favor!.
How do I renew my certificate resale tax
Thank you!!
I'm confused about the sales and use tax in the purchases section for ecommerce. Since i'm a middle man between a supplier, i'm not sure if I would check off the top box that says "purchase items to use in my business without paying Florida sales tax to the seller at the time of purchase"
Emailed the DOR in the meantime
"As a reseller, the sales tax certificate would be provided to your dealer at time of purchase to make the supply purchase tax exempt. The sales tax certificate is documentation between yourself and the dealer that your purchase is intended for resale and thus tax exempt. Tax collected from your customers at time of resale would then be remitted to the Department under the sales tax certificate.

Follow this video and apply exactly like I do it and you can get the resale cert without registering to do business there.
@@JamesBakerCPA Thanks so much. Great content sharing.
Selling at Amazon do I need to file quarterly as well?
Under payment contact, it asks what is the contacts relationship to company. Options are company employee, non-related tax preparer, or payroll agent... what do i choose if Im the owner?
My screen looks nothing like yours. It’s asking me for Florida business partner number and current sales and use tax number
Yes it's because I was going over the paper form. I think you are looking at the wrong lines it is a long application
This form looks nothing like what is shown here (followed same links) and if you select LLC (which many will do) it forces you to chose either S-Corp or C-Corp. Deferring will force you to use SSN or Visa number.
We still get it done for clients without those things. We have been doing the same way. The trick Is at the end but sure they can change forms anytime
Bro I have filled the DR1 form and sent it to the email you have given as account creation. An automatic replay came up telling me not to email them my important documents, Social Security Number, EIN or any other personal documents. If I fill the DR1 form and attach my passport and send it to the email you mentioned in this video, will it work or do I have to submit it online separately? Which you have shown in this video.
(I don't have SSN or Visa)
Try calling them to confirm. This is what my team does
I stumbled upon your video because I need a resale certificate in order to purchase from wholesalers for my store. I'm assuming you still need to file quarterly even if you're selling through amazon or ebay and just need the certificate for the wholesale stores?
Yes if you register you need to pay quarterly
I mean file quarterly
For 2024 if I start the llc ( for reseller ebay account)April 1st ( day 1 q2) do I file q1 ebay for personal at the end of the year?
Can i use my itin tax number in place of a SSN
Yes try it
hello sir i want chage my florida resale certificate business address .how can i do this can i do this or not ? Thanks for reading me
I want to sell on my website and I also do events where im a vendor and sell my products, would this be all I need in order to do that? I've heard of a sellers permit but I am confused if this falls into that category and covers me or is it something totally seperate?
Anyone applied from virtual address? they ask generally for physical address.
Why would someone who sells on Amazon and Ebay need an LLC?
What country do you prefer
I need my business partner number to get past the first section, but I haven’t received one even though I have all my certificates and have my llc. Can anyone help?
