Hello! I'm currently researching how to file Schedule C for freelance costume-making commissions I've been doing and I've ran into a bit of a roadblock when counting for supplies. I am a resident of Indiana but I go to college in, and, as a result, dorm in Illinois; what exactly do I do about the fact that the sales tax of supplies I buy in person is Illinois sales tax and the sales tax of supplies I buy online and/or when home over breaks is in Indiana sales tax? I'm still learning how to do my taxes properly and I don't really know how to search for advice on this problem, because of how specific it is.

Thanks!

For expenses, where you buy your supplies doesn't matter. You'd just add up all the sales tax and add it on the sales tax deduction line.
