Tax-free weekend items typically include a range of clothing, footwear, school supplies, and sometimes additional categories depending on the state. Here are examples from several states for the 2025 tax-free weekend:

• Clothing and Footwear: Most clothing and footwear items priced under $100 per item are exempt from sales tax. Examples include shirts, pants, dresses, shoes, boots, socks, belts, underwear, scarves, gloves, and some athletic wear that is not specialized protective gear. Items priced over $100 do not qualify. Some states exclude jewelry, handbags, watches, and sports gear even if they cost less than $100.
• School Supplies: Specific school supplies priced under $100 per item are often tax-free. Common qualifying items are backpacks (sometimes with a price limit per backpack or a partial exemption amount), book bags, binders, notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons, rulers, glue, scissors, markers, paper, and art supplies like paints and brushes. Supplies over $100 or bundled items exceeding the limit may not qualify.
• Electronics: Some states include computers, software, and printers with price limits for exemption.
• Other categories: Certain states also exempt hurricane preparedness items, diapers, scout uniforms, children's costumes, and some household items during their tax-free weekends.

In general, to qualify for tax exemption during these weekends, the individual item must be priced below a certain threshold (commonly $100), and these sales must occur during the specific tax-free weekend dates. Tax-free weekends encourage purchases of school-related items, clothing, and shoes without the added sales tax, often including online purchases if the seller meets state requirements.
