Sales Tax Holidays on select August days in 14 States

Raising4boys.com had a list of the 14 states scheduled to host sales tax holidays in August. Unofficially, it's the state government's way of giving a tax cut by encouraging spending as students are returning back to school. If your state is on the list, be sure to check with your state's department of revenue on the internet to confirm they haven't changed their minds, as some cities do NOT honor the holiday. Also the exemption is for state tax only. You are still responsible for paying the County, Local, Municipal, and County taxes on an item. Reminder that each individual item cannot exceed the specified maximum for each category.
