Do you put sales tax on your products?

I am new to Internet Marketing (especially taxes) and I am wondering how to put sales tax on your products because for every different US state you are selling your product to, you have to get a different % of sales tax.
Income tax is simple but what are you doing with the sales taxes? In paypal I cant even see to which state I have sold the product to, so how does the IRS want me to calculate the sales taxes?
Is there any tax-guide to internet marketing?

    Hi,

    Unless the law has recently changed you are obligated to charge taxes only to people who purchase in your own state. For example, if I live in Georgia (I do), and sell a physical product to someone in Tennessee, they are not required to pay Georgia sales tax on that product. However, if I sell that same item to someone who lives in Georgia (my state) I must charge a sales tax.

    Laws are changing every day so you should really check your own state laws to make sure you comply.

    Hope that helps.

    Linda
