r/tax on Reddit: Can I be sales tax exempt from any purchases/companies that support it?
June 24, 2024 -

I am a sole proprietor and own a small business, a jewelry store. One-man operation. For example, I get emails from Amazon about a business account and being sales tax exempt. Also from Comcast Business for my internet bill about being sales tax exempt.

Is it as simple as submitting my business info/TIN to be sales tax exempt? These would be business purchases/business use cases. Any implications with the IRS or law? I reside in TN.

Or is all of this just for non profit companies? I’m not a non profit.
