Consumer reports forecast that 74% of consumers will do their back-to-school shopping in-store and that 50% of parents plan to purchase something for themselves. During the state’s tax-free holiday, shoppers can stock up on back-to-school staples or spend on splurges.

No sales tax will be collected on the following items:

• Clothing, footwear, and certain accessories selling for $100 or less, per item
• Certain school supplies selling for $30 or less, per item
• Personal computers and certain computer-related accessories with a sales price of $1,500 or less (when purchased for noncommercial home or personal use)
