TopicTaxes
ContentI file my taxes with TurboTax. The question that comes up on the Oklahoma return in TurboTax asks if I "would like to pay sales tax on out-of-state purchases" or something to that effect. Who would like to pay taxes? I have no easy way to find records related to any such purchases anyway, If the tax can't be collected at the source, I suggest it is more trouble than what I expect is a tiny amount of revenue generated. Why not repeal the tax and be seen as a "tax cutting" state, without sacrificing much revenue. If there ever comes a time when this can actually be collected uniformly, then reinstate it for fairness to competing Oklahoma merchants. Until then, don't make taxpayers fumble to pay it, or shortchange the state.
