So I am starting up an Ebay business where I will be catering to a niche market and buying from suppliers who require a “reseller’s permit number”. Yesterday, I electronically filed the BUS-1 form on the Illinois department of revenue website. When I checked the stats of my application, I get this:
The number (****-****) is associated with the following types of filings: Form ST-1, Sales and Use Tax Return.
Thank you for filing electronically.
Any necessary correspondence will be mailed to the address you provided.
My question is, how long until I get my reseller’s permit/certificate in the mail? Or is that 8-digit number my permit number? This whole process seems pretty vague to me
