    Plain and simple I don’t understand how to do this. I looked on line do I need to start a business name as well? I want to sell at a flea market and they require a tax ID number and Form ST19 filled out. am I just making a mountain out of a mole hill.

    Is this a weekly flea market or a couple of times and it’s done. Unless it’s weekly it might be more hassle than it’s worth.

    I would like to do it 2-3 times per summer. As I’m looking into this I think your right might be easier just to sell stuff on sites than go through this mess.

    Depending on what you are selling you might be better off setting up in a parking lot in town. That would likely only require a peddlers license from the city.
    Or like you say, throw it on the classifieds here for nothing.

    Good luck.

    depending on what it is how about the weekly farmers markets?

    Just google “Mn form ST19” and a link to a pdf of the form comes up from the MN department of revenue. If they require a tax ID number, will they accept your social security number as if you were operating as a sole proprietor in your own name.

    As a follow up there is a number to cal right on the form to register for a Mn tax ID number. Likely you would be required to collect sales tax technically which would mean you would need a sales tax account so you could report your taxable sales and pay the sales tax that you collected
