  Hi there!

  Could you please elaborate on that? I don’t see any paid subscriptions under your account. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

  I haven’t paid for the premium subscription yet because I am trying to figure out how to avoid being charged tax on the subscription fee. I am setting up a website for a school newspaper. As a non-profit our school has tax-exempt status. Our school will not pay taxes on the subscription fees. Is there a way to for me to get the tax taken off when I pay the subscription fee?

  Thanks for clarifying. Can you let us know what state your school is located? We only collect tax in 17 states, so I’d like to make sure you’re in one of those states before we start the document gathering process.

  Let us know if you have any questions. Otherwise, we’ll wait to hear back from you!

  Hi there,

  NY is one of the states that we collect taxes from, so I will contact the email connected to your account with the details.

  Thanks,

  I am still waiting and wondering how to provide our tax exempt information so that we can upgrade our account to premium. Please advise.

  @cropeditor – we sent an email to the email address on file for your WordPress.com account on February 18th and we did not get a response.

  I’ve sent another request to you just now. Please respond to that email and provide the documentation we requested in order to process your tax exempt status.

  Thank you!
