Summary
Apple’s 2026 tax-holiday schedule starts July 17 in Alabama and covers 10 U.S. states, letting shoppers buy select devices online or in stores without state sales tax during state-set windows.
Florida has the longest stretch—July 20 to Aug. 20—while most other holidays last two to four days, including New Mexico and Tennessee from July 31 to Aug. 2 and Massachusetts on Aug. 8-9.
Eligibility varies sharply by state: Arkansas exempts a broad list including Macs, iPads, iPhones and Vision Pro with no stated price cap, while West Virginia limits the break to iPads at $500 or less.
Price ceilings range from $2,500 per item in Massachusetts to $1,500 in Florida, Missouri and Tennessee, with Virginia restricting Apple eligibility to chargers and batteries priced at $60 or less.
Apple said some savings may appear only on the final receipt, and some states require accessories to be bought with a computer or for school use.
