    The use tax on Form 540 us basically a tax you pay when you buy something from out-of-state sellers that don't collect California sales tax. This often happen with online purchases or when you buy things from other states.

     

    Use tax is essentially a way for states to prevent people from avoiding sales tax by buying everything out of state.
