Incredible. The State of Tennessee is a dumpster fire right now.

Is this with regard to reminding you of the use taxes you were supposed to have paid?

Yes

 

[Nerd-Vol]

So when do I have to pay this?

 

[TennTradition]

Yes

I just always paid the "safe-haven" tax when I lived in Massachusetts. I figured I bought enough online that it was cheaper than actually adding up all the things I bought and then paying use tax on that. It was certainly easier....which they count on (particularly since they still have no way of confirming any of it).

That's a good question. In Massachusetts, we always did it as part of our state income tax....but you don't have that in TN.

I didn't see it come up on the Michigan taxes this year...hmm....

Part of state taxes in AL - called a usage tax and reported "voluntarily".

Every state that has a sales tax has a corresponding use tax. The use tax was part of the original sales tax law. It's there to close what would be huge loopholes for cars and other big ticket items.

Whenever you feel like it. For me, it will be never.

You mean you don't want to be a good citizen and give the state of Tennessee your money to administer in what would most certainly be an efficient, cost-effective manner?

Glad I'm not alone.
