The way it has been (at least for most people), is that if you buy something via mail order from out of state, you don't pay that state's sales tax. By law you ARE supposed to, and have been supposed to for many years (this from a law professor teaching contract law). To me it looks like they are just going to start enforcing that law. Thus, if you buy something mail order from IL, you will have to pay IL state sales tax. -- Chris Riley chris.riley@attbl.att.com prodigy: kdfv03a I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered.
