They are not required to collect the tax unless they have employees working in the state into which the computer is sold.

Gateway is large enough that I would imagine they have employees in every state.

If you go to the PC Connection site, you will see that they charge sales tax only on Ohio. They also operate in New Hampshire, but there is no sales tax in New Hampshire.

On the other hand, as a buyer, you are supposed to claim it on your state tax return, but a very small percentage of people make the claim.
