2010 Tax Free Weekend

With school just around the corner, many are hoping to take advantage of the tax free weekends available in select states. The list is as correct as I have been able to find. There are links to your states tax and revenue to verify or stay up to date on any changes. If your state is not listed check with your states tax and revenue. It is possible there was a change that offers a tax free weekend and I missed it.
