If you make a tax-free sale to a retailer in your own state or any state where you have a nexus, you must have a copy of the retailer’s sales tax certificate on file. You don’t need their EIN, but their sales tax certificate. And the purchase from you has to be for resale in order to be non-taxable to you.
