This will make it harder for the thief to open new accounts in your name. You should also review your credit report carefully, looking for any unauthorized accounts or... View More

I just bought gift certificates at a local restaurant and I was charged the tax. When I asked the cashier she said that is how we do it. Now when I give this gift the recipient will also pay tax when they purchase their meals. Double taxing does not seem right.
