Thanks for the replies. Well in my first post all I wanted to know was if state tax was being collected for my state. I also called voipo support and they could not tell me. They could not give me a break down of the amounts of where the $36 goes.

But anyway when I called my state tax department, they checked their vendor database and voipo is not listed, assuming that is the registration name. They also checked by the California address and the telephone number. If an out-of-state company collects sales tax for Ohioan purchase, the company has to have an Ohio vendor license.

So this leads me to the next part. If state sales tax is part of the $36, I have no idea where it is going. But it's not going to my state. That is why I have to pay "use tax" equal to the amount as if it was sales tax, to my state.

Reporting the tax for out-of-state purchases while living in Ohio is done on an honor system anyway. I think most people, when they buy things that are out-of-state, don't even bother to report it. But I'm being a nice guy and reporting it. Karma too, I guess.
