Back-to-school season is right around the corner for many parents, which means it's time for sales tax holidays.
Whether you need new shoes, a backpack or a new laptop, check out this list. Some states give parents a break with seasonal tax holidays, during which there’s no state sales tax on certain items like clothing, school supplies and even computers.
The list is out now — check out these deals below (see the Federation of Tax Administrators’ site for more information) to learn which back-to-school state sales tax holidays apply to you.
Every little bit helps! If you prefer to shop online, Amazon will honor individual state sales tax holidays.
