Although plans for the 2020-2021 school year has changed, tax-free holidays for some states remain the same.
Not every city and county is eligible for the sales tax holidays, and every item will not be tax-free. Local taxes still apply for some states.
However, for the first time in history, Tennessee is the only state to add a second tax- free weekend for restaurant sales, including alcohol.
