When making purchases from a local Walmart store, please contact jo.branscome@greenville.edu to pick up a tax-exempt card to take with you.


When making purchases from Walmart.com, you must first apply for Tax Exemption on their website. 

You can apply for tax exemption on their site. Each email address that will order under GU's tax-exempt status must complete a separate application. 

Our Illinois Sales Tax Exemption Certificate number is E99848538.

Once you submit your application, you will receive an email notification within two business days telling you whether your application was approved or denied. Until a decision is made, your application will show as In Progress.

Tax-exempt discounts appear at the very last stage of checkout, on the Place Order page. If you still do not see the discount there, the item may not be eligible for a tax-exempt discount. 

Other items require you to submit a manual refund, such as: 

  • Photo orders
  • Tire Center purchases

Email taxexempt@walmart.com to request a manual refund.

Sam's Club tax exemption is separate from Walmart tax exemption. For more information about Sam's Club tax exemption, contact your local Sam's Club location.
