Currently, the store and online application process are separate. You will need to enroll your Walmart Business account online in the Walmart Tax Exemption Program.

Go to https://business.smiedemann.shop/account/taxexempt to review the steps and apply.

If you have signed up using the same email on Walmart.com & Walmart Business & if you have approved tax-exempt status on Walmart.com, then you do not need to apply for tax exempt again. After creating an account on Business.Walmart.com (Walmart Business), your tax-exempt status should be available in the Walmart Business account.

If your email information is different on Walmart.com & Walmart Business then at this time you will need to submit an online enrollment by navigating to Business.Walmart.com/Taxexempt

Yes, if you complete an online tax-exempt application on Business.Walmart.com/Taxexempt and are approved, then your tax-exempt status extends to stores when using Walmart Pay with the Walmart Business App.

If you do not use Walmart Pay, then kindly refer to the instructions in the following FAQ.

If you are enrolled in Walmart’s Tax Exemption Program through Walmart Business, you can apply your tax-exempt status to purchases in store using Walmart Pay in the Walmart Business app or you can use your tax-exempt ID number:

Manned/Staffed Register:

-Checkout using Walmart Pay in the Walmart Business app as your payment method, or

-Show your tax-exempt ID to the Walmart associate before paying. You can present it in the Walmart Business app or as a printout (make sure it has the Walmart Business header).

Self-Checkout:

-Using Walmart Pay: Scan all your items & pay using Walmart Pay. Taxes will be automatically removed from eligible items.

-Using Other Payment Methods: After scanning your first item, tap the 3 dots in the top right corner while on the home screen, select "Tax Exempt," enter your tax-exempt ID number, confirm your organization name & proceed with payment.

You can find your Walmart tax-exempt ID number in a few ways:

In the Walmart Business app: Once you are logged in, go to the “Account” page & select "Tax exemption" to see your digital card with your Tax-Exempt ID. If you have the most recent version of the app then the option to find the Tax-Exempt ID should be present on the in-store mode pop up screen when one is in the store.

From a mobile browser or desktop: Users who are logged in can go to “Account”, then select “Tax exemption” to see your digital card with your Tax-Exempt ID.

If your organization is already approved for tax exemption, you have two options:

a. Deactivate Your Enrollment: The primary admin can deactivate your tax-exempt status if you are closing your business or no longer want tax exemption for your organization.

b. Add a State to Your Enrollment: You can add additional states to your existing tax-exempt enrollment. Please note: Your tax-exempt status will be temporarily disabled until you receive an approval email for the additional state(s).

No, if your enrollment is deactivated, you will need to begin a new enrollment. Your previous enrollment submission is no longer eligible for resubmission.

The online enrollment is set to automatically default to a three-year expiration date. If your state-issued tax-exempt documentation includes an expiration date, please use the date shown on your certificate.

You will need to start a new enrollment under your existing account as your prior submission contains outdated information. Starting a new enrollment will temporarily disable tax-exempt status until you have resubmitted & received an approval email.

Tax exemption applies only to state(s) you are approved for, qualifying items, and permitted quantities.

There are a couple of reasons why you might see taxes on your purchase:

a) Only certain items are tax-exempt. Items within restricted categories such as Firearms, Alcohol, or Tobacco items may not be eligible for tax exemption.

b) You shipped to a state where you don’t have tax-exempt status. If you need to ship outside of your state, choose the states on your application. Upload a license for each state.

When using Walmart Pay at self-checkout, there is no limitation to how many items you can purchase tax-exempt.

When checking out through an manned/staffed register, there is a limit. Please check with the associate first if you have a large quantity purchase.
