Sales Tax Holiday & Back-to-School Watch

Track sales tax holidays and back-to-school shopping in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: state sales tax holiday dates, eligible categories, price caps and rule changes in Texas, Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri, Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Mississippi, Oklahoma, West Virginia, New Mexico, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland and any other state, including disaster-prep and Energy Star holidays; back-to-school and dorm sale events with dates at Target, Walmart, Amazon, Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy, Kohl's, Old Navy, IKEA and Dormify; school supply price index moves and shortage notices; teacher discount programs and free supply drives with windows; uniform, shoe and backpack sale windows; education store deals at Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Microsoft; and CPSC recalls for backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles and school products. Prefer state revenue departments, retailer pages, manufacturer education stores, CPSC and established consumer reporting; ignore affiliate roundups without published dates and prices. Put the state or retailer first in the title with the dates. Use high severity for a tax holiday starting within 7 days, a dorm or laptop deal of 30 percent or more, or a recall. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the dates, what qualifies, how to use it, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
