State tax filing

@cashmoney9 This type of sales tax is typically called a Consumer User Tax or something similar.  It would only be reported for your individual state.  Some states have a separate tax return entirely just for this type of tax.

 

I've looked and looked at the AL Department of Revenue website, including AL Form 40 for 2021, and do not see a line-item for entering this type of tax.  I also cannot find a specific tax return for reporting Consumer Use Taxes due.

 

I found this article from 2007 stating that there would be a line-item option to enter on the AL Form 40:

Alabama Department of Revenue

 

What I'd suggest is when going through your TurboTax interview for the state of AL, you may be asked if you purchased items in 2021 for which you paid no sales tax.  You may be asked to enter the price you paid for the DVD you've mentioned.  The sales tax rate for this item would be 4%, based on what I've seen.  The program will either calculate the tax due for you, or you can enter the amount that would equal 4% of the price you paid.

 

Please let me know if you are asked to enter this anywhere during your TT interview.  I'm curious.  If you purchased only the one DVD, I wouldn't worry too much about the tax due on this item.
