REG-1 PDF Details

When registering a business with the Illinois Department of Revenue using Form REG-1, there are several considerations and details to be mindful of:

Detailed Documentation: Before filling out the form, ensure you have all the necessary documentation. This might include your FEIN, any licenses, and details of ownership structure, among other things.

Additional Schedules/Forms: As you progress through the REG-1, you'll notice that certain sections might require you to fill out additional schedules or forms (like Schedule REG-1-L, Schedule REG-1-O, etc.). Make sure you complete these and attach them if they're applicable to your business.

Familiarize with NAICS: The form asks for a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) number, which is a standard used by federal agencies to classify businesses for statistical purposes. Be sure to look up and provide the appropriate NAICS code that best represents your primary business activity.

Local Taxes: Illinois has local tax jurisdictions that might have their own sales tax rates. If you have multiple locations, you may need to be aware of different tax rates in different jurisdictions.

Remote Sellers: If you're selling to Illinois customers from out of state, be aware of the requirements for out-of-state or remote retailers. Recent legislation (like the South Dakota v. Wayfair decision) has had implications on sales tax collection for remote sellers.

Finally, the Illinois Department of Revenue's website and customer service can be valuable resources if you have questions or need further information. It's always beneficial to ensure your business stays compliant with state regulations to avoid any future complications.
