It is very easy to deal with the sales tax today compared to what I had to do previously. I pay quarterly and the form is done on-line.
Many TCA members are not on-line. This is the reason it is so hard to move to purely digital publications. I know many TCA and other model railroaders who are almost never on-line. There is also a group that does have a computer be seldom if ever look at email. Most of the TCA membership grew up without computers. Only a handful, including people on this forum, are active on-line.
My HO club has this problem. Do you really think that this group is going to fill out tax forms on-line? Most hire out their taxes to a service which does their on-line income tax for them.

I find this so difficult to appreciate. If some of these member sellers do not have a computer or know how to operate one, that's OK. To fill out the form manually as I had done years ago takes maybe about 35 minutes (also includes the time to paste on a stamp and lick the self-addressed envelope). You don't need a tax attorney or H& R Block to do a simple Pa sales tax return in the situation we are discussing, believe me! I think much of the dispute on this issue is not done from actual knowledge in having had to file returns in these situations; but just a general distaste to do so regardless of how little effort there really is.
