Back-To-School Shopping: Tax-Free Weekends

It’s almost that time of year, again--back-to-school time, and that means tax-free weekends for select States. Tax-free weekends are a great time to shop for children’s clothing, technology, and regular school supplies without having to incur any sales tax. Unfortunately, not all States are participating in this and there are some limitations.

Here is a list of States (linked to their taxation websites) that will be participating in the tax-free event and the dates for each one:

• Alabama: August 3-5, 2012
• Arkansas: August 4-5, 2012
• Connecticut: August 19-25, 2012
• Florida: August 3-5, 2012
