In 2025 I bought an item online for $59.97 from a retailer who did not charge the Pennsylvania sales tax (6%). So I am trying to report this on my State Tax return for 2025. I put in the amount of the sale as requested. Turbotax accurately calculated the tax as $4 (it always rounds up). Then it added $10 labeled "Additional Estimated Use Tax from Optional Table". So I'm paying $16.00 instead of $3.60.
What's up with that? Am I being penalized just because the retailer did not charge me the sales tax at the time of purchase?
