Tax man is Unfriendly, Boo Hoo!

My annual is coming due. Where can I go near Chicago where it won't be
taxed? I know Indiana taxes sales so assume they also tax maintenance.

Fly into O'Hare would be best. They have spare capacity. Indiana
probably has a use tax (I can check for you if you'd like). If so, by
going out of state to avoid paying the tax, you would be guilty of tax
evasion. Now I know the states generally don't enforce the use tax very
well (except for new auto purchases), but if they become aware of big
ticket items that are escaping their tax structure, they will sometimes
act.
