Submit Your Sales Tax Exempt Certificate(s)

Specify Other Exemption

California Partial Exemption Note: California Regulation 1533.1 can provide only a partial exemption for qualifying farm equipment and machinery. It does not make the purchase fully tax-free; other state, local, and district tax components may remain. It applies only to a business engaged in agriculture (growing crops or raising livestock, or providing agricultural services) that uses the equipment primarily to produce and harvest agricultural products; forestry and Christmas-tree growing generally don’t qualify. Our team will confirm that the purchaser, use, and product qualify.

Agricultural exemptions are state-specific. Usually you should select the one state where the products will be delivered and used, then upload that state’s completed, signed agricultural certificate. Record the identifier used on that form — such as a state permit number, FEIN, driver license/state ID, or the last three SSN digits when the form specifically requests them. This lets the same identifier and its type be recorded in Avalara for audit support. Do not enter a full Social Security number. Enter only the identifier printed on the certificate; never upload a photo of a driver’s license or state ID.

Please note: Federal nonprofit / 501(c)(3) status by itself — including an IRS determination letter or federal EIN — does not establish a purchase exemption there. Narrow state-specific exemptions may still apply, so upload the state authorization supporting your claim. If you are purchasing for resale, select Resale above and provide the resale certificate instead (California generally requires the seller’s permit number or the certificate’s explanation of why one is not required).

Documents we can accept: an IRS 501(c)(3) letter alone isn’t sufficient — these states issue their own exemption paperwork, which is what we need uploaded below:

California resale note: your resale certificate must include the seller’s permit number issued by the CDTFA. If you aren’t required to hold a California seller’s permit, the certificate must instead explain why (CDTFA Regulation 1668).

Michigan resale note: upload completed Form 3372. Retail resale (basis 2) requires the Michigan sales-tax license number. If you are a wholesaler claiming resale at wholesale (basis 7), Michigan does not issue you a sales-tax license: choose No Identifier Required below. Do not use the numberless choice for retail resale.

Complete every required section and include the date. Sign the form unless its official state instructions expressly allow an electronically furnished unsigned certificate (Michigan Form 3372 does).
