Do you have to collect your state's sales tax on yard sales?

Yup--it'll be locked before the end of the day. BTW in NYS if you have a yard sale on a site for more than 7 days per year, you must have a tax number and collect/report sales tax. And Dunkopf is correct, while the state would love to get their hands on the Internet sales tax, it actually the instate retailers that are pushing for it. It is a case of whose ox is getting gored as to whether you favor it or not.

"Haven't heard about the fart tax. No carbon taxes either. I would like to be able to bottle the aroma though. I'm sure I could sell it. Then they could tax it."

IMHO, this is tacky.

Don't make sense to pay tax on a used item that someone else already paid tax on when they bought.
Here if you have a yard sale more than 2 times a month i believe you have to pay tax.
