Acceptable Tax Exemption Forms

In order to make a tax-exempt purchase, you must provide a valid certificate for the state where the item will be shipped. 

Many states have their own certificates that are available online. Certain states permit the use of multi-jurisdiction tax exemption forms like a Streamlined Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption form from the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board or a Uniform Sales & Use Tax Exemption/Resale Certificate from the Multistate Tax Commission.
