TheTaxBook Weblibrary 2019 order - sales tax?

[Rapid Robert]

Has anyone ordered next year's WebLibrary Plus 2019 subscription yet? [...]
And finally, yes I know I can contact TTB customer support to inquire, but I wanted to find out if others have seen the same thing [...]

EDIT: I received a nice email from one of the senior folks at Tax Materials (TheTaxBook) clarifying that I was charged sales tax by mistake on the WebLibrary subscription (no physical product, online only). They understandably don't want further confusion on the matter, so I have removed part of my post that is no longer relevant with this new information. They do read this forum!

I have already sent in my renewal, included the local applicable sales tax rate to the order, provided the sales tax code (per NYS Sales tax returns) for my local area, and TMI properly included it in my billing invoice.

The TaxBook added 4.5% "sales tax" to my order from Hawaii. Hawaii has no sales tax. Hawaii has a General Excise Tax which is 4.5% of the total cost, so the tax rate should have been something like 4.712%. Then I get to pay a 4.5% "Use Tax" on my purchase from out of State. Grrrr.

FYI, see my first post here (edited). As it is the first year for many vendors charging out of state sales tax, a few bumps are to be expected, IMO.
