I do not see a filter for it at least.

Yeah it's only on items sold by Amazon. However, anything prime is sold by Amazon so you'll lose that perk.

My findings yesterday as well when I ordered 3 things on prime and sold by amazon. Zero taxes added to my order.

I would have to agree, Some 3rd party vendors do offer Prime shipping.

Update.
I bought a pair of shoes that were just under $100.00 on 12/30/2016 (no sales tax).
Unfortunately the size of the shoes did not fit my feet. I logged in online requesting an exchange.
No dice. Couldn't do it. Had to be returned and then re-ordered. Only one small problem. Shoes now cost $225.00.
Called Amazon. Representative refunded my original purchase of just under $100.00. And she ordered my new shoes at the same price.
This time, however, sales tax was applied on the $225.00 order. What did she do? Completely removed the sales tax as well.
This is going to be hard to track for self-reporting.

I guess there are some items that are Prime, sold by someone other than Amazon and fulfilled by Amazon.
Obviously I don't go through every item Amazon offers, but it appears most Prime items are sold and fulfilled by Amazon, and thus are taxed.

Since this is the tech board let assume you are having a local AV business do some work to your home. The local guy is providing premium products which he is an approved reseller plus expertise to integrate and maintain the system. Part of the system is 5 name brand TVs that have a price tag of $7000K. Because it's a premium product the local guy has no problem competing with price and provides a better service. However when you add the almost 10% sales tax to $7000K in equipment it puts the local guy at an unfair disadvantage.
There are 2 kinds of buyers, DIY and someone who pays someone else to provide and install.
I'll stand buy my point that the 10% sales tax isn't going to transform one into the other. The guy that was going to buy the $7k worth of TV's online and self install will still do so. The guy that was going to pay the local guy to provide and install will still do so.

The camera lens I purchased was sold by a 3rd-party vendor, fulfilled by Amazon and eligible for Prime.

Not true.

Not always the case. You would surprised how many times the price of tax makes it a deal breaker

It's always hard. In fact in many cases impossible.

I disagree.
I'm no electronics expert but the guy spending $7k on TV's and is willing to pay whatever it costs to get them delivered and installed too isn't going to blink an eye at $700 in tax. The labor alone is going to dramatically eclipse the tax.

I will also point out that buying local isn't always an option, especially when it comes to high end electronics.
