>>>Line 42 on your personal tax return only covers the 6% use tax on purchases that had unpaid sales tax. It in no way covers the excise tax on cigarettes.
Then, shouldn't the tax on cigarettes be a separate line item?
And we are back to how do I pay these taxes?
I really do appreciate the links you posted; but the first one that mentions the form seems to apply to retailers and distributors. Unless I'm reading it wrong.
No. You are required to be aware of all tax obligations. The addition of sales tax lines to personal returns is a recent one that states have used.

I think you would have to contact the state to get the best answer. They aren't going to trace the call. Also, many states have amnesty programs.

Without the actual instructions for the form I couldn't tell you if this is the proper form to use. I can tell you that the obligation for the user to pay the tax is not dependent on the state providing a form.
