Amazon going to tax NE residents.
Dan W:
I will add that Amazon customer service is very hard to beat when it comes to returns or defective items and will continue to be my preferred provider for internet shopping, but then I have paid use tax for these purchases so my cost will not be going up next year
RobertH:
i like the Amazon trade in. it usually beats selling a used textbook there than back to the bookstore. i cleared my shelves of CDs, DVDs, Blurays and books that i didn't need anymore. the books are the best price, but CDs/DVDs/Blurays usually don't give you much, but if you have Prime and Netflix, you're not watching disc's much anymore.
HuskerXDM:
If you use Chrome, there is an app you can add called Wikibuy. When you select a specific item on Amazon (and other sites) in just a few seconds it will tell you if there is a better deal available somewhere else.
GreyGeek:
I forgot to mention that NE will be collecting past history from Amazon and other Internet sales outlets and matching up reported internet sales with actual Internet sales. If you haven't been reporting Internet sales taxes expect a letter from the Dept of Revenue sometime in the future. They'll probably offer an amnesty period. After that the penalties for under reporting will be significant. I wrote the code for comparing incomes reported on the fed form with that on NE's form. Several thousand cheaters were found and prosecuted.

I wonder how many thousands of dollars the state will spend chasing hundreds of dollars in unreported taxes........
