Newegg state tax form

Aren’t you “supposed” to report purchases from sites like amazon and Newegg who don’t charge sales tax unless you reside in their state?

I’ve literally never reported anything come tax season and I’m not locked up

Yeah, got it yesterday for our business.

Don't know if Newegg references an LA Dept. of Revenue form number or if it's a summary list.

We'll find out on the 10th

I often share this story when this topic comes up. I don't remember all the details, but it's a good cautionary tale. Back in the 90s, or early 2000s, when cigar smoking was popular, the state convinced the mail order company Thompson Cigars to turn over their customer list. The state didn't know how much if any those customers ordered. They reviewed each customer's tax return to see if they paid any use tax. If they did, the state left them alone. If they didn't, then they started an audit.

I don't know if they are going to do the same thing with Newegg's customers, but it might be worth paying some use tax.
