Q: My exempt organization is in a taxable state, but I don't see a form listed. Where can I find it?
Some states do not have separate forms to fill out for tax exempt organizations; instead, they just require you send a copy of your state-issued exemption certificate. You can send a copy of that form to solutions@buy101.com in place of the above forms.
Q: What if my state isn't listed?
If your state is not listed above, than we are not currently required to charge sales tax on orders shipping to your location. You may place your order online at any time and you will not be charged sales tax.
