that's the point of buying online. you will NOT be charged sales tax as it is basically coming from corporate.
Here's a cut and paste:
Generally speaking, if an online retailer maintains a physical presence in a state that charges a sales tax, then that online retailer must charge sales tax on any items that are sold to customers within the state. However, if the online retailer is selling an item to a customer outside of its home state, then it is not required to collect sales tax from that customer.
How Do Large Websites Avoid Sales Tax on Internet Sales?
You may be wondering how it is that large websites that have stores located in many states avoid putting sales tax on the purchases made over the internet. They do this by establishing subsidiaries that are solely responsible for the internet part of the business model.
Picture it this way: the store that you buy an item from online may be a different legal entity from the corresponding brick and mortar store that is in your local shopping mall. Because that particular online store does not have an actual physical presence within your state, it does not need to charge you sales tax. This is a highly controversial practice that will probably be legislated in the future as many brick and mortar stores that do not have online counterparts are losing sales to the tax-free internet shops.
However, this issue becomes even more complicated when the online retailer allows a customer to make returns to a brick and mortar store that is technically a separate legal entity. Consumers will buy an item online that is free from sales tax, but are then able to return those purchased items to brick and mortar stores.
