There are no passes only a lack of enforcement. Sales and Use Tax- It is the buyers responsibility to voluntarily submit to the state any unpaid portion of sales tax in the form of USE TAX. The laws are there, but not being enforced. Ask me how I know, or should I say, Meet any auditors lately?

No, not quite correct. "It is the buyers responsibility to voluntarily submit to the state any unpaid portion of sales tax in the form of USE TAX". ONLY if the buyer lives in the same state as the seller. Otherwise there is no sales or use tax, because Congress specifically legistated that the internet would be free of sales and use tax. But now they are considering taking that away because they are getting lobbied by the big box stores that are crying ... "Oh boo hoo... it's sooooo unfair".... The ONLY thing they are interested in is MONEY. Fairness has nothing to do with it.
