Why do you have to report that you bought cigarettes in the first place? You don't but you are responsible to pay the applicable sales tax via your State tax form at the end of the year. The Jenkins Act facilitates each State's collection of taxes on cigarettes by requiring the seller to report to the State Agency the name and address of individuals who purchased from a given state.

I don't think the Jenkins act covers Indian Reservations though.
The state of Michigan made a big stink over that demanding UPS records and now they wont deliver cigarettes in Mi.

I was under the impression the Jenkins Act required the tobacco companies to report their sales, not tobacco retailers.
