2024 Tax-Free Weekends – When to Shop
It’s that time of year again (almost)! Stores are starting to gear up for back to school season, and with inflation, everyone is looking forward to 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!
