  3. Complete and sign as required. Save a copy, then submit your certificate for review.

Submission is a request for review, not automatic approval.

Links open the issuing agency’s form or instructions in a new tab. Some states issue certificates through their own portals rather than offering a blank form.

Using the Streamlined (SST) certificate? It is accepted in the 24 member states, including Michigan and Ohio, subject to each state’s rules. Not every listed exemption is available in every state. Review the SST instructions and state requirements before completing it.

Does buying for a business make my order tax exempt?

No. Your purchase must qualify for a specific exemption under the applicable state’s rules. A business name or EIN alone does not establish an exemption.

I use cutting tools to manufacture parts. Is that resale?

Using a tool to make parts is different from reselling the tool itself. A manufacturing or industrial production exemption may apply, depending on the state, the item and how it is used. Choose the documentation for that use.

Can I use one certificate for more than one state?

Sometimes. The MTC multijurisdiction resale certificate and SST certificate can simplify eligible claims. Their acceptance, identification requirements and permitted exemption reasons vary. A resale certificate does not establish a manufacturing exemption.

Can I complete or sign the form electronically?

Use the official PDF’s fillable fields where available, then sign in accordance with that form’s instructions and the state’s requirements. You may also print, complete and scan the form. Upload the finished document through the submission form; this directory does not issue certificates or provide an electronic signature service.

What should I include before submitting?

Complete all required fields, including the purchaser and seller information, exemption reason, applicable identification number, and signature and date when required. Seller: D&D Supply Inc., doing business as FM Carbide, 33717 Woodward Ave., Suite 112, Birmingham, MI 48009. Use the email associated with your FM Carbide account or order. Keep a copy for your records.

What happens after I send my certificate?

FM Carbide reviews the documentation and may ask for corrections or additional information. Any approved exemption applies only to qualifying purchases and the states covered by the documentation. Contact our team if you need help with an order already placed.
