Resale Certificate Forms: MTC and SSUTA

Table of Contents

While some states require state-specific forms, there are two common resale certificate forms that can be used for most states:

• MTC Form: Uniform Sales & Use Tax Resale Certificate Multijurisdiction Form
• SSUTA Form: Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement

If you prefer to complete a single form to cover multiple states, follow these instructions:

How to Fill Out the MTC Form

1. Issued to Seller: Enter the following details:

   • Seller Name: “TapStitch, Inc.”
   • Address: “8 The Green, Ste B, Dover, DE, 19901”

2. Buyer Information: Enter your legal name (or company name) and legal address. Ensure the name matches the information you provided in the Legal Info section of your TapStitch Dashboard.

3. Business Type: Select your registration type:

   • Most users will choose “Retailer”, but “Wholesaler” or “Seller” are also valid if applicable.
   • If you choose “Other”, specify your business type (e.g., “ecommerce” or “online shop”). Certificates marked “Other” may require additional review by our system.

4. Business Description: Provide a brief description of your business and the types of tangible goods you sell (e.g., “custom apparel and accessories”).

5. Seller’s Permit or Business ID Number:

   • In the green table, list your seller’s permit or business ID numbers for all applicable states. You don’t need to complete a separate form for each state—just include all states in one form.
   • When you upload this form to our system, select all states where you wish to apply the certificate.

6. Signature and Date:

   • Add your handwritten or digital signature, along with the date. This is required for approval.

How to Fill Out the SSUTA Form

1. Buyer Information: Enter your legal name (or company name) and legal address.

   • Seller Information: Enter “TapStitch, Inc.” as the seller’s name and “8 The Green, Ste B, Dover, DE, 19901” as the address.
   • Ensure your legal name matches what you entered in the Legal Info section of your TapStitch Dashboard.

2. Business Type (Section 3):

   • Indicate your business type (e.g., retailer, wholesaler). Our certificate system will verify whether your business qualifies for an exemption.

3. Tax Exemption Reason (Section 4):

   • Choose your reason for the tax exemption. This will also be validated by our system.

4. State-Specific Information (Section 5):

   • Select the state(s) where you’re claiming the exemption and provide your ID number and reason code for each state.
