- Symmetry 14y agoOn my state income tax form there's an "add this small amount to your taxes and we won't care about you buying normal stuff online" box, which I check each year. So sort of.
- impendia 14y agoI do. I don't keep a list, but I make what I believe to be a fair ballpark estimate.
- anonqzeht 14y ago"Supposed to" is debatable. States do not have authority to tax interstate commerce. They go ahead and ask for it anyway. Although they call it a "use tax," the the tax is calculated solely based on the money that changes hands in an interstate commerce transaction. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, has webbed feet like a duck, as they say. It's an interstate commerce tax. A personal expense does not become a business expense just because a taxpayer calls it that. But states think they can make an interstate commerce tax into a "use tax" just by calling it that.
