What happens if a sales tax due date falls on a weekend or holiday?

In every state, if the due date lands on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, it moves to the next business day. Florida is the one exception for electronic payments: they must be initiated by the business day before the 20th.

How do I know if I file monthly, quarterly, or annually?

Your state assigns a filing frequency based on how much sales tax you collect — higher volume means more frequent filing. The state notifies you of your schedule when you register, and you can confirm it in your state revenue online account. Each state page lists the volume thresholds where known.

Which states have no sales tax?

Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon have no general sales tax. Alaska has no statewide sales tax, but many local jurisdictions levy their own with separate due dates.

Do I still have to file if I didn't collect any sales tax?

Usually yes. Most states require a 'zero return' for every period you're registered, even if you owe nothing, and charge a minimum penalty for missing it. File on time regardless of how much you collected.
