Ray, what about tobacco products (Other than cigarettes). It is the cigarettes that raise the issue of tax evasion because of the stamps. Tobacco products don't get stamped.

Tax schemes for sales, use and excise tax are fairly consistent across the states as well as across products. The use of a tax stamp is merely a device to assist in applying and enforcing the law. Unstamped items are generally handled the same with the same laws. Every state has their own twists but certain generalities can be made and in general out of state shipments are not subject to the tax of the vendor, while the resident receiving the goods is taxed by his home state.

Right. The PDF files you posted for me do show the tobacco is handled differently than the cigarettes. But, if that is what I'm declaring on line 42 (granted, that wouldn't be seen until audited), than I should be ok if billed, right? (JYO)

Or are these billings just for unstamped cigarette purchases?
