Pennsylvania use tax

Forum|Forum|4 months ago

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?

No, you are not being penalized for that one purchase. I was able to replicate your error by choosing "I have some or none of my receipts" instead of "I have all my receipts" on the screen Tell us about your purchases. Navigate back and select "I have all my receipts" in the untaxed out-of-state purchases section.
