They are going back through all purchases for the past three years to determine what purchases were made out of state and how much sales tax if any has been paid. The $ amounts involved are very minimal, however the time involved is quite alot as I am sure you can imagine. I have two sales tax audits in progress right now on this issue.

The law is the law and your decision is not based on what other CPA's may be doing, unless they have a legal reason not to answer the question. The profession has enough problems already in trying to approve unethical standards. As a CPA your responsibility is to advise as to what is taxable and help the client to comply.

It is part of state law and the state is getting more vigilant about collecting it. We certainly advise our clients. We have done so by written letter to them explaining the issue and we also have a question in the annual organizer asking them for the information to calculate it. We have done so since they place the "box" on the tax form. In reply to Sonja McCart, this is absolutely enforceable.
