Overview of Nevada Business Identification Number
The Nevada Business Identification Number is a unique identifier assigned to every business entity in the State of Nevada.
Obtaining a Nevada Business ID Number
The Nevada Business Identification Number is assigned to every business in Nevada when filing paperwork. You can find your number on the Nevada Tax Center website. State law requires annual renewal of a State Business License or exemption.
Importance of Nevada Tax ID Number
The Nevada Tax ID Number serves as a legal requirement for reporting and paying taxes, hiring employees, and participating in financial transactions. While commonly called the Employer Identification Number (EIN), it also applies to various entities.
- All businesses operating in Nevada need a tax ID number, including sole proprietors, partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies (LLCs).
State ID Card Information
A State ID Card is government-issued identification containing personal and biometric information, allowing holders to prove identity and citizenship. It is similar to a driver’s license without requiring a driving test.
Additional Information
- Nevada does not collect income tax on individuals, so a state tax form is not required. However, you may need to prepare a 2021 Federal Income Tax Return.
- The residency and ID requirements are the same for an ID card as for a driver’s license. You cannot hold both. Nevada has a seasonal resident ID card. Surrendering a license for an ID card must be done in person at the DMV.
