Taxes in NJ if I order something from NEw York?

Question

if I live in NJ and buy a product/service in New YOrk to be delivered to my NJ address, should I be charged taxes?

Answer 1

You should be charged NJ taxes.

Keep in mind, retailers in NY are probably skittish--there were some court cases in the past few years were some sellers helped NYC residents avoid taxes by officially shipping the items to alternate addresses in NJ.

Answer 2

If you live in State1 and buy something from somebody in State2 who does not charge you State2's sales tax, you owe State1's sales tax (actually called a Use Tax at that point).
