I'm doing mine today also. Isn't the MI tax (I have the form here somewhere), termed a "use tax", because, of course, Michigan has absolutely no right whatsoever to tax interstate sales? In fact, despite Amazon, etc., I thought the Bill of Rights specifically gave the right of regulation of Interstate Commerce to the Congress.

You might just answer "no". That's not a lie: you don't need to, IMO.

I'll answer I don't know.  I think it is an 'implied' sales tax relabeled a use tax so the state can collect it.  Some states have to collect sales tax online because of state laws, not here in MI yet, not for the lack of trying. But my thinking on my original post #38 was that the feds will FIND A WAY to tax everything on the Internet from emails to basket-weaving supplies.  Just like they have imposed themselves in the phone industry as this thread points out.
