The 2014 state sales tax holidays are almost here! If you’re lucky, your state will encourage you to shop on specific days this summer to avoid paying sales tax. The tax free weekends and sales tax holidays vary by state, but many are having the 2014 tax free weekend the first weekend in August for back to school shopping.

The tax free weekends will feature savings on clothes, computers, school supplies and books. Many of the states limit sales tax savings to $100 per item. However, computers typically have higher limits, anywhere between $750 and $3500 depending on which state you live in. Be sure to check with your specific state to find out the exact limitations for each item.
