Hi:

    I cannot speak for all states, but, when I first started selling
    jewelry and filing on my tax return, I realized that i needed a
    resale license from the state to collect sales tax and, also, get
    into wholesale areas at shows and buy wholesale in general. I was
    able to drive to a state Department of Revenue Services office and
    get a temporary tax id on the spot. (it took an hour I think). If
    this is really all you need for now and you just want a way to buy
    wholesale in Feb. why don't you try calling your state's Department
    of Revenue Services and asking if there is an office you can go to?
    Better yet, there is probably a website you can check. 

    As with the disclaimer accompanying my other email on tax
    id's....this email is in no way meant to offer any tax advice. I
    would urge anyone to check with their CPA before making any change to
    their tax status. 

Best Regards,
