Apply for a Business Tax Identification Number (BTIN) using TAP

New businesses can apply for a New Mexico Business Tax Identification Number (BTIN) using Taxation and Revenue's Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) self-service portal. A BTIN is necessary for filing Gross Receipts Tax and other business taxes. BTINs are also often requested when registering a business with other government entities.

Thank you for the tutorial. May I recommend that you add a disclosure/alert to the question "Do you have a physical address" (at approx. 4:20 minutes) on your website. You point out in the video that a registration certificate will not be generated if you select NO, but there's no indication of that on the application. I help start-up businesses obtain their tax id, (many of which are homebased business) and they have chosen "no", then later had to contact you guys to inquire about their certificate. I can only imagine many others are experiencing the same issue, which in turn inundates your call center with an issue that could've easily been avoided for both parties.

Hi! Great video and super helpful information. I just had a separate question. Will I have to renew my business license yearly? And if so is there a notification on the website that let's you know when that date is approaching? Thank you!😊

@New Mexico Taxation & Revenue Thank you for your prompt answer. And considering my case in particular... I'm selling on Amazon (solely) and I need a resale certificate. Do I need to be registered, in other words, do I need a physical location? Thanks!

Greetings and thanks for the info, please does a foreign single member LLC owner file this very form? If no, please can you guide me on how to obtain my business tax ID.
Thanks

[jasonmckinney]

Thanks for the info. Question...where do I find the actual tax ID #!?! Do I have to wait for that to be sent in the mail?

Is there another process for this when someone has an existing TAP account? Online it says, "If you do have a TAP account, your new business will be added to your TAP account." However, when going through the process it is requiring me to create new login info with a new email address.

What is the format for the BTIN? The number I have ends with GRT. is this the same as the BTIN?

This may off topic or the wrong place for this but I have a question…….I was advised to get a CRS # for my business. I am an online business, selling hair products and have my business registered, and have my EIN. Do i still need an CRS to sale products at pop up shops?

How can I receive my tax ID number if I selected no physical address? I am running a clothing brand from online but i still need the tax ID number for purchasing whole sale products

[aminetali]

Thank you so much for the video !
In my case, I am not a resident and I don't have an officer address. When selecting "no physical address" and "no officer", I can't move to the second page". Do you have any suggestion please ?
Thanks a lot in advance

at 1:15 the third bullet point under the heading "Purpose" says, "If you DO have a TAP account, your new business will be added to your TAP account." I have now tried to do these steps. I enter my business type (LLC), then enter my FEIN from the IRS, only to get hung up when entering the email. I do have a TAP account and when I add that email I get an error that states "This email address has already been registered. In order to continue please enter an email that has not been used". 1:54 is where I get this message and cannot continue. Now if I enter a new email I can finish the application, but the IRS is considering my business as a disregarded entity and so I will be paying taxes on my normal 1040 by adding schedule c and filing my business income along with my w-2 income. I was hoping to do the same with the state. Is this possible, or do I have to file my w-2 earnings and my GRT separately only for the state?

[tyrajeff]

Hello! I am registering for a new business and I already have a personal TAP account do I still create another account to file an LLC or do I add it to my existing account?

[danipotrc]

Is there any way to apply for BTIN as foreigner with LLC incorporated in New Mexico? I cannot add officer as i dont have SSN or ITIN.

[Lgj]

I think I selected no on "do you have a physical address". How do I undo this? I will be working from a truck, so do I need to put a physical address or did I fill out correctly? Will I still receive tax ID? Please advise--- Thanks for the video!

[aleloro]

I'm a foreign owner of an LLC in New Mexico and I've tried to get my BTIN using TAP. I couldn't finish the process because the "officers" section doesn't give an option to add foreign ID numbers. I've reached out to you by mail and tried to contact you several times by phone.

Could you tell me how to proceed in my case?

Thanks

I am trying to register for a Corp tax ID number. When I get to the end of the application, it says "Gross Revenue Tax" What is that? I dont think I need that? Can you help?

Hello - where would I find the Tax Code for NM Unemployement? I found the one for NM Withholdings but they stated the NM Unemployement has the following format 00#-####-# or ###-####-#.
