I went to a local TV station's website where they had the rules posted.

Clothing $60 and under are tax exempt including purchases  made online.

The item I bought was $62......ugh!

I may have to rethink my purchase!

@J9True - but OP was asking specifically about the special tax week in her state -  and then QVC could be next door to her and she shouldn't be paying the tax unless there are some other provisions in her state's law.

I know those tax-free laws differ from state to state. When I was shopping more than I do now, I often bought and saved during NY's back to school tax free.  In Florida I cannot use it because what we're allowed to buy tax free is nothing I buy.

I used to work in Florida for a particular theme park. If a guest wanted to ship an item out of state, we were not permitted to charge tax for that purchase because it was an out of state purchase. The only state excepted was California because the sister park operated in that state and one of the Carolinas because of a time share resort there.

same thing with Amazon. We used to not pay tax in pa because there were no operations here. Then they opened a warehouse and we got screwed.

I live in New York State and I am charged tax on all my on line purchases.  I can drive an hour and be in Pa.  Friends and I go there several times per year for kids, etc.  The money saved pays for gas, lunch and we still are ahead.  Also we have a great day of fun together.  The men all hold the fort at home where needed.  Two of us are widows.

This weekend is also the Tax Free Weekend for Texas so I have been taking advantage of it.  Fortunately for us, it's clothing under $100.  But on HSN, I am not charged tax at all. Only at QVC.

 I have read on the boards that because QVC did their 50 state tour they are required to collect tax for every state. Have no idea if that's correct and of course, it doesn't apply when a state has a tax free weekend.
