What makes that bad feeling in my gut and on the back of my neck is when I see "professional companies" charge Sales Tax. I just get the feeling that's a crooked way to up their profits by 8.25% !!!
Ask to see a copy of their business license. If they have one they can charge tax. Most don't though, charge tax or have a business license. Around here anyway, I've already checked them out on sunbiz.com. Here is the site for your state- https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/Index.html

The ones here that i have attended (and charge tax) have their license displayed. No problem, I whip out a copy of my resale certificate. I have only bought a few times from these people THEIR PRICES ARE JUST TOOOOOOOO HIGH!
