Amazon email telling me how much sales tax I owe

[Deleted]

to the state of TN for sales and use tax since Amazon doesn't collect it...

I'm surprised it is so low... I owe $54.99.

Is there a reason they sent it now? Instead of in January?

I don't know why I'm getting it now. It does seem a little late, but TN doesn't have income tax so there is no reason to file a state return, generally speaking.

From what I'm reading, it's because of a bill passed pretty recently.

I knew they were going to start collecting in 2014 just not about the letters.

I'm also surprised it is so low. I'm pretty sure I've spent more than $550 on Amazon in 2011

Thank god that's an AP story. The Oak Ridger isn't worth the bandwidth it takes up, unless you want the local news stuff - who died, pictures of kids playing soccer, etc.

TN does have an income tax on unearned income. I had to file from age 10 until I started filing VA taxes. Kind of annoying.

Not for much longer... I'm not sure if it was signed but there was a bill to repeal the Hall Income tax this session.

Seriously? It figures. Cause, you know, they are broke and putting more focus on regressive taxes is the answer *insert eye roll*

It has been awhile since I filed it, but I did double check it still existed before I posted.
