I got that email. It simply says you bought this much stuff from Amazon that wasn't taxed, and you may owe the sales tax to the state of Tennessee.
Of course, I do. But I've never heard of anyone paying it. It's been one of Amazon's most attractive features for years.
The message goes on to say this amount will not be reported to the state, but beginning in 2014, Amazon will begin collecting sales tax. I think they've made similar agreements with other states.
Amazon will be just like other retailers who add sales tax at point of sale.
But wait! DUmmy Bennyboy is in Tennessee? Since when? I thought he was somewhere out in the crazy West.
