In the event we are audited, we need to provide a hard copy of your Illinois tax certificate to the IRS. Rather than try to track you down two years from now, we'd prefer to keep your certificate neatly organized in our files.  A stitch in time saves nine, and frankly, we'd like to do everything we can to be prepared for Uncle Sam.

Even if you are one of our best customers, we cannot exempt you from sales tax unless we have a valid certificate on file. No exceptions.
