If I am a resident of Allegheny County PA, with a 1% local tax, should Amazon have charged 7% instead of the 6% it did?
I am completing the "Untaxed Out-of-State Purchases" section of my state return, and because I am a resident of Allegheny County, PA, which has a 1% local tax, it's confusing me on my Amazon purchases because I was only charged 6%. Some orders were delivered to Allegheny county, and some others were in/delivered to Lancaster county where I go to school, and the tax rate was the same 6% for all the orders. Is this correct, or should Amazon have charged 7% as I am a permanent resident of Allegheny? If 6% is correct then I paid enough sales tax, but 7% means I need to report all the purchases and they were underpaid. I have tried looking up how this process works but it's been really confusing trying to get a definite answer.
Similarly, for Steam purchases, I had 2 that were oddly only charged at a 5.6% sales rate after calculating it, which I assume I need to report as well because that's even below 6%.
Thank you!
