Just like several other states. It's the states' fault(s) for demanding taxes because they want to say that every affiliate is a "physical presence" just like an actual store would be and therefore since they have a "physical presence" in the state, they MUST collect sales taxes. Texas sent Amazon a 269 billion dollar tax bill claiming that's what they owe for all of their "unpaid" taxes. Overstock.com will do it too.
It's been done in New York, North Carolina, Hawaii, Rhode Island and Colorado, and like I said Texas will no doubt be next. They're trying to demand all this money, and all they're doing is killing small businesses in the form of affiliates.
Amazon has a point. Once they've chopped off ALL 50 states affiliates (where else is the end game if not there?), then how can state governments claim they have to collect sales tax? Amazon bets that they can't, and then they'll be able to stop collecting sales tax.
States are screwing their own states' online affiliates by saying their home is a store because proactive companies are nuking them in protest.
