Many states have a form and a provision for you to report out of state purchases and pay sales tax on them.

Why would anybody in their right mind fill out such a form? Just buy the product with cash and be done with it.

The form is also part of the state income tax return.

No one would fill it out, but my point is that the law is already in place in many states and you can get caught for not paying sales tax on out of state purchases. With budgets the way they are it can’t be long before they make a strong effort to seal this tax hole.

Does anyone remember the story about the cops watching people return from other states with tobacco products they had not paid taxes on? Even though they weren’t actually required to settle the taxes until they filed their tax return?
