There are 17 states offering tax free this year, and 13 begin theirs this weekend to appeal to the back-to-school crowd. I look forward to this all year long. Time to replinish school supplies, go through my kids closets and dressers to see what fits and doesn’t fit them. Then purchase new clothing and possibly stock up on the next size up if the deals are good!
The 13 states that are offering tax free right now are:
Florida: August 7-16 – Clothing, footwear, and certain accessories selling for $100 or less per item, on certain school supplies selling for $15 or less per item, and on the first $750 of the sales price for computers and certain computer-related accessories when purchased for noncommercial home or personal use.
