Where Can I Shop?

Most large retailers like Walmart, Amazon, & Target will be participating. That means you can shop online tax free if you are buying on the date that your state qualifies.

It’s good to be aware that this may not apply to small retailers because they may not collect tax in all states. I always look for special ads and advertisements during the tax free days to know if an online retailer is participating.
