Source tracker
Official sales tax holiday sources for 2026.
A practical source index for checking whether a 2026 tax-free weekend date is confirmed, recurrence-based, or still waiting on state updates.
Verification method
Why source status matters.
State sales tax holidays are not national holidays. They are created by state law, annual notices, or agency guidance. That means copied date lists can be wrong.
Confirmed
A state source explicitly lists the 2026 date or schedule.
Recurrence based
The state uses a stable timing rule that can be mapped to a 2026 weekend.
Pending
A state page exists, but final 2026 item lists, categories, or dates still need confirmation.
