I recently started an online clothing store in the US, and I’m struggling to understand the rules around sales tax for clothing. I know that taxation varies by state, but I’m not sure how to determine which items are taxable, whether there are exceptions for specific clothing categories, or how to ensure I’m complying with the law. Can you point me toward a reliable resource that explains these rules in detail?

It’s great that you’re being proactive about understanding sales tax—it’s a critical aspect of running a retail business in the US. Since sales tax rules for clothing vary widely by state, with some states taxing all clothing and others offering exemptions for specific items (like children’s clothing or items below a certain price threshold), it’s essential to have a comprehensive guide. I recommend reading the blog article on Clothing sales tax in the US. The article breaks down the nuances of clothing sales tax across different states, explains common exemptions, and provides practical advice for ensuring compliance. It’s tailored specifically for clothing retailers and includes tips for managing multi-state sales, which is especially helpful if your business operates online.
