Taxes are supposed to be collected from a person who lives in a state where a retailer has a business. Meaning ... if you are in California and order from Sears ... they will collect taxes because they have stores in California and thehy have to send taxxes to the state on all sales in California. Unless they've changed the laws, Amazon shouldn't have to collect taxes because they don't have a store anywhere.

No, Amazon doesn't charge any taxes... no private company can charge a tax on anything. Only governments- federal, state and local- can. Sales tax is only state or localized.

What companies do is pass taxes along to the consumer when they are charged. The taxing of online purchases is still an up-in-the-air thing. At this point, if you live in the state that is selling you that item, you MAY be charged a tax.

There is a possibility that the federal government will start assessing sales tax on online purchases, I think to dole out to the state involved, but that is meeting with lots of resistance. Sources: opinion .
