I know B&M complain that it's an unfair advantage, but online retailers have to deal with shipping.
Technically speaking they aren't telling someone in Nebraska to pay them tax, just collect and remit it. Be the middle man, so to speak. But yeah, on most state income tax returns there is a place for putting in use tax for internet purchases that most people ignore, which is causing the problem. Relying on self reporting like that is just a problem.
