CNN– We are just three days away from Tax Free Weekend! On Friday, the South Carolina Department of Revenue’s annual sales tax holiday weekend starts. It will run through Sunday, August 8. You can buy eligible items without paying the state’s 6% sales tax. You can purchase clothing, school supplies and even computers. Items like smartphones, jewelry and furniture are not tax free. The Department of Revenue says South Carolina shoppers bought more than $18 million in tax free items during last year’s Tax Free Weekend.
For the third day in a row, Spirit Airlines is facing some big problems. The low-cost carrier has canceled or delayed nearly 300 flights. Aviation tracking website FlightAware says that’s 40% of Spirit’s schedule. Spirit says the issues stem from weather and operational challenges. It’s unclear when operations are scheduled to return to normal.

COLUMBIA, S.C. A tip sheet released by the South Carolina Department of Revenue is suggesting at least one way parents may be able to get a tax break this summer.
The agency said in its release that working parents, or those looking for work, may be able to get a break by way of the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit.
The state agency defers to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) which suggests that parents can claim up to 35% of childcare expenses limited to $3,000 for one child and $6,000 for two or more. The tip sheet suggests that those expenses could include the cost of childcare or day camp.
