I do not like paying taxes, so I will take advantage of this tax break.

This weekend is the biggest tax-free shopping event of the year. Buying cheap school supplies will only save you a little money. You should use the tax break on expensive tech items to save more money.

Here's a list of states that are participating in the tax-free weekend and how to save the most money.

Iowa is having a tax-free weekend on August 7-8 for clothing and shoes that cost less than $100.

Illinois is lowering its sales tax rate from 6.25% to 1.25% on certain clothing and school supplies from August 7-16.

You can still get the tax break if you shop online from your couch. Just make sure your shipping address is in a participating state and check the final total before you buy.

To get the best deals, look for categories with high price limits or no limits at all.

If you live in Florida or Missouri, your state has a tax-free limit on computers of $1,500 per item.

Look for laptops that cost between $500 and $1,200. You can save $30 to $80 on top of the sale price.
