How do I register for sales tax with no US address or EIN — can I use Streamlined Sales Tax?
I've crossed the threshold in a few states and need to register for sales tax, but my LLC has no US mailing address and I don't have an EIN or SSN. Is there a way to register across multiple states at once, and can a foreign seller without a US tax ID actually use the Streamlined Sales Tax system?
