Tennessee's Tax Holiday is coming.

The first Friday in August starts the Tax Holiday Weekend for Tennesseans this year. The official dates are August 7, 2009 12:01am until August 9, 2009 11:59pm.

The tax holiday is intended to aid parents that are sending their kids back to school.

The items that are tax free are limited to clothing, school supplies, and computers under $1500. For a full list see here.

So, if it possible... hold off that back to school spending until August 7th and go hog wild. For many residents it's a savings of 9.5% or more.
