2020 Tax-Free Weekends – When to Shop
It’s that time of year again! Back to school might be up in the air and confusing right now, but one thing we can depend on – Sales Tax Holidays! That’s the wonderful time of year when select states offer a weekend (or longer) where you don’t have to pay sales tax on things like school supplies, computers, clothing and more. If you’re not ready to venture outside yet, don’t worry – some online retailers like Amazon and Walmart honor tax-free shopping during those dates!
