Exempt items vary by state but often include clothing, school supplies, computers, and sometimes energy-efficient appliances. Check your state’s specific rules for details.

Do all states participate in sales tax holidays?

No, not all states offer sales tax holidays. Participation is determined by state legislation, and the dates and rules can change annually.

How can I find out if my state has a sales tax holiday?

You can check our comprehensive list of 2026 sales tax holidays by state, or visit your state’s Department of Revenue website for the most current information.

Are online purchases eligible for sales tax holidays?
