Government does not charge a national sales tax, it is up to each state to be in charge of that. And so with 50 states comes with 50 different tax policies. Unfortunately, out of all the 50 states, only TWO states offers tax refund on purchases.
And that is Louisiana and Texas. Pretty much the experience you went through can only happen in Texas. Louisiana has different requirements so I would suggest do research on that as well. It will help people a lot! Feel free to reply back if there are any questions! Texas Tax Refund Informer, Thanks for the kind words and sharing inputs.
