I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question: what is to stop the individual states from getting a court order to view customer information - then sending tax bills to the customers in their state? Complete with added fines, for not paying when you were supposed to?
Which is why, when our tax preparer brought it up, we opted to give him a reasonable estimate for our online spending rather than try to evade the tax.
It's just not worth going to jail or paying thousands in fines because of a hundred or two hundred dollar tax bill.
Still, I'm so sick of these taxing jackals, I can barely stand it. These attempts to tax interstate commerce are clearly unconstitutional, imo. But if it's struck down by the SCOTUS someday, I don't suppose we'll ever see refunds, huh?
