So 45 out of 57 states are liberal cesspools?

Some that don't are liberal cesspools as well...

From http://www.salestaxinstitute.com/Sal..._sales_use_tax

The five states without general sales taxes are: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon. However, Alaska permits local sales taxes. Delaware imposes a rental and service tax. Most of these states also impose different excise, meal or lodging taxes even though they don’t impose a general sale and use tax. New Hampshire imposes a meals and rooms (rental) tax. Montana imposes lodging facility use and sales taxes, miscellaneous telecommunications taxes, and a severance tax on oil and gas production. Oregon imposes a lodging tax and a severance tax on timber harvesting.

Well looky there, Texas has use tax as well... just not much mechanism to report or pay it. (No state income tax)

There is a form 01-156 (makes one wonder what the other 155 were) to file by Jan 20th for the previous year's taxes of less than $1000 (more than that is to be filed quarterly or monthly)

But to further complicate things, many purchases/uses on my property are exempt if they're related to agricultural purposes (yes, I have an ag exempt tax #). Although they specifically state that predator control does not qualify.

It's a joke referring to Obama's mentioning of visiting all 57 states. (out of 58)

I knew I was missing something...

Growing up 40 years ago in pennsylvania, it was common practice to drive down to delaware for any larger purchases since delaware didn't have any sales tax. It's no coincidence that one of the largest shopping centers in the area is just across the delaware border.

On a smaller scale, when I made a large purchase from Home Depot, I drove down to the highlands ranch store where the sales tax was 5%, vs the one up Wadsworth charging 7.5%.

Going to finish taxes tomorrow.

Has anyone received notice from Midway or Palmetto state that they reported purchases to Colorado?

I made some purchases, but don't feel the urgency to sift through cc statements and give undeserved money to the state. Probably $80.00 in tax at most.

Well, I just tried to make a payment for my "use tax".

Dear CO dept of revenue, if you WANT money, how about making it a wee bit @#$%&@! easier to give you the money!

Was this not an option when doing taxes?

So what happens when my under 18 kids buy things online and I get a notice of tax owed by them? I’m not a tax person so I’m actually curious
