if you live in California and took a vacation to Las Vegas, Nevada and bought a Coffee mug for a souvenir?
Do you have to report this on your taxes?
How about if you bought a coffee mug online that was bought in a store in Las Vegas?
No, you don’t have to report it.
If you live in California and make an on-line purchase from Amazon or similar places that don’t charge sales tax, tax law says you are supposed to report this and pay the sales/use tax on your Form 540. It is unlikely you would be caught.
I sent in about $40 for out-of-state on-line purchases made in 2009. It’s really a matter of fairness. Why should out-of-state businesses get away without paying for state needs while local businesses that give jobs to Californians end up charging sales tax to local customers?
