# Tax registration items

> Understand the tax registration item data Middesk returns for jurisdiction filings and webhook payloads.

Tax Registration Items (`items` in a Jurisdiction Registration) correspond to the individual tax ID numbers and rates for each registration. A single jurisdiction registration typically contains multiple items — for example, a state withholding registration may produce both a withholding account number (a tax ID) and a withholding rate (a tax rate), each represented as its own item.

Items appear on a registration once the jurisdiction issues the underlying credentials. Until then, the registration may be present without items, or items may be present with `pending` status while Middesk waits on agency response. The `value` field holds either the assigned account number (for tax ID items) or the assigned rate (for tax rate items), and `status` reflects whether the item is active, pending, or closed.

View the list of [Registration Items](/manage-entities/state-tax-agency-keys) for all possible `key` and `label` values per jurisdiction. Use this reference to understand how Middesk structures tax-related data in API responses and webhook payloads.
