What is a state ID number?

A state ID number (also known as a state EIN, a state employer ID, or a state tax registration) is a unique number assigned by the state to all the businesses or organizations operating in that state and is used for filing taxes.

So, when declaring the income and withholdings for a state, the employer's State ID number is required. You can find this information in the letter you received from the state’s department of revenue while registering your business.
