Resale certificates
Use the official state form when a buyer is purchasing goods for resale rather than end use.
Nonprofit exemptions
Federal nonprofit status does not automatically grant state sales tax exemption. Some states require a separate approval or certificate.
Record retention
Keep signed exemption certificates and related invoices in case the transaction is reviewed during an audit.
