Doren, SInce they cannot act as tax cllectors for interstate sales the only thing they can do is tax them federally and pass that tax to the states as a grant. A funny duck that walks in one state and quacks in another this tax thing has been a problem for years, and the courts have steadfastly refused to make the feds tax collectors for out of state goods shipped into a state since the states cannot control border access that's it. Now however the statesare going after Visa/MC/shipping records to catch those that evade with co-operative treaties. For example NY and NJ have such a treaty and NY can inspect records and see what was shipped taxfree to NJ, and tell NJ about each one. NJ then knocks on their door with a tax invoice to be collected and if they refuse they pounce. Most pay. Now the favoured way is to prepay with a money order and have it shipped to an address like a gas station where you go to pick it up when it is time to get it. Of course the guy at the station knows you and that way you can save the tax on a $4000 fur coat. It does not pay for small stuff. Another way is by US postal service as they are still unable to tell on you. Bill
