If I live in New Jersey, will I be taxed on my iTunes purchases?

If I live in New Jersey, will I be taxed on my iTunes purchases? I'd love to hear from someone who has first hand experience (Lives in NJ). I read up on some of the tax laws but most of it is older (pre 2009) and I'm not sure whether or not things have changed since then such as the Nexus law stuff.

Thank you =)

Fobwashed,

Yes, you will be charged sales tax.

For New Jersey residents, the iTunes Store began collecting sales tax in 2006. For reasons that were not explained, they stopped doing so in July 2011, but resumed a month later.

The NJ sales tax is 7%, so a 99 cent song will be charged $1.06.
