For parents, it\u2019s the perfect opportunity to save some cash on school supplies (it all adds up!), and for teachers, it could even be a chance to make a bigger purchase at a discount.<\/p>\n<h4>Does your state participate?<\/h4>\n<p>2023 was the biggest year to date for tax-free weekends. The states that participated in tax-free weekends last year were: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>Click on your state within this <a href=\"https:\/\/taxadmin.org\/2024-sales-tax-holidays\/\">list from the FTA<\/a>\u00a0for the most up-to-date information about their anticipated date for 2024.<\/p>\n<h4>How to make the most of a tax-free holiday<\/h4>\n<p>If you live in a participating state, you can save considerably, depending on what you\u2019re hoping to buy. Some states, like Connecticut, limit the savings to specific items like footwear and clothing. In others, like Massachusetts, the tax-free weekend might be the perfect time to make a larger purchase like a printer for your home, since most purchases under $2,500 are eligible there.<\/p>\n<p>Just be sure to read the fine print\u2014many of these states do specify that school supplies are eligible, but not all. Also keep in mind that you don\u2019t have to live in a state to take advantage of sales. If you happen to border a tax-free-weekend state, you can enjoy the savings in both states.<\/p>\n<h4>Where can I shop?<\/h4>\n<p>Most large retailers will also be participating, which means you can shop online tax free if you live in a state with a tax-free weekend. Not only will you have the convenience of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherlists.com\/parents\">shopping your supply lists<\/a> from trusted retailers including Target, Walmart, and more, right from your phone\u2014you\u2019ll save money![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does your state have a tax-free weekend coming up? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":9626,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4210,4206],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v19.3 (Yoast SEO v19.13) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tax-Free Weekends\u2014a Great Time To Shop Your Supply Lists - TeacherLists Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"If your state has a tax-free weekend coming up, it&#039;s a great time to get some deals on your supply lists!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherlists.com\/blog\/tax-free-weekends-a-great-time-to-shop-your-supply-lists\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tax-Free Weekends\u2014a Great Time To Shop Your Supply Lists\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If your state has a tax-free weekend coming up, it&#039;s a great time to get some deals on your supply lists!\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.teacherlists.com\/blog\/tax-free-weekends-a-great-time-to-shop-your-supply-lists\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TeacherLists Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/teacherlists\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-06-11T18:16:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-18T13:15:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.teacherlists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/0620-tax-free-weekends-supply-lists-fullsize.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"406\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"236\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Elizabeth S.
