[whitewater]

so since i charged too much, then i paid to much..fat chance getting that back, huh?

Even if you got it back, it's not legally yours, you charged it as tax, you'd owe your customers that money.  Legally and all.

yes i agree...i know its not mine...really looking back I guess i don't do a huge volume with those i tax..it just surprises me thats its gone on this long and no one else has questioned it in the last 7-8 years.

If you did try they would most likley fine you for over taxing. Just leave it alone.

Sam, no sales tax on apparel. That would be nice.
